Escaping Particular Special Characters

I have a string like: 'SEBASTIÁN', and when I save this in the db, it saves as encoded. While trying to show it in frontend through python code it's throwing an error.

In [1]: p = "SEBASTIÁN"

In [2]: p
Out[2]: 'SEBASTI\xc3\x81N'

How can I fix this?

You should be saving this as a unicode string 

>>>p = u"SEBASTIÁN"
>>> print p
SEBASTIÁN

I don't know django, but this works in python 3:

>>> b'SEBASTI\xc3\x81N'.decode("utf-8", "strict")
'SEBASTIÁN'

Use unicode strings with django.

u"SEBASTIÁN"
