Python - BeautifulSoup - German characters in html
While reading assign text to an variable and the decode it, like if your text is stored under variable Var, then while reading use Var.decode("utf-8").
Dear friendly python experts,
I  am using BeautifulSoup to scrape some html text from a site. This site contains German words, such as "Groß" or "Bär". When I print the html text these characters get translated quite nasty making it too hard to search the html text for the words then.
How can I replace ß to ss, ä to ae, ü to, ö to oe, in the html text?
I was looking for a solution everywhere to this, however it got me nowhere, except confusion land
As this is a project help is very much appreciated!
