how to get the unicode format of "你"?

I knew that the unicode of 你 (meaning you) is \x4F\x60. How can i get it from my python command console? 

>>> print("你")
你
>>> print(("你").encode("gbk"))
b'\xc4\xe3'
>>> print(("你").encode("utf-8"))
b'\xe4\xbd\xa0

I am in python3.3 .

If you want the actual unicode codepoint of any given character in Python 3, you can simply use ord to get the raw number

>>> ord('你')
20320

However, you really should search around and you might find answers in other SO articles like

Also read up on what Unicode actually is, which was also linked there.

I think you are looking for

>>> print(("你").encode("unicode-escape"))
b"\\u4f60"

Which shows that 你 is \u4F60. I don't know a specific encoding that turns that into the two bytes 4F and 60.

(I only tested this on 2.7.3, assuming that "unicode-escape" also exists in Python 3)
