At a wild guess, because you're using pywinauto, it means that the data you have is in the default win32 encoding format for unicode, which is to say, in UTF-16LE. There is no such thing as a file in unicode, the file is in an encoded representation of unicode.

To convert a file from UTF-16 to ASCII,you want to do:

unicode_data = open(filename).read().decode('utf-16le')
ascii = unicode_data.decode('ascii')
