u'é' and u'\xe9' are exactly the same, they are just different representations:

>>> u'é' == u'\xe9'
True

ord will give you the numeric value, but you'll have to convert it into hex:

>>> ord(u'é')
233

You can use Python's repr() function:

>>> unicode_char = u'é'
>>> repr(unicode_char)
"u'\\xe9'"
