I am writing in Python 3.12 and I have this text:

text = "randomstrings :n- ud83cudf10u26a1n- ud83dudcb0u2b07ufe0fn- ud83dudee0ufe0fud83dudd04"

Originally it was a string with emojis (that I could see correctly), then I saved it into a json.

Now when I loaded the json I found out I can’t read the emojis again.

I tried

text.encode('utf-8').decode('unicode-escape')

but it did not work

UnicodeEncodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t encode characters
