python3 how to turn unicode codepoint into unicode char

i know this type is asked alot but no answer was able to specifically help me with my problemsetup.

i have a list of ONLY Unicode codepoints so in this form: 304E 304F ...

No U+XXXX no '\XXXX' version.

Now i've tried to use stringmanipulation to recreate such strings so i can simply print the corresponding unichar. what i tried:

x = u'\\u' + listString

x = '\\u' + listString

x = '\u' + listString

the first 2 when printed just give me a '\uXXXX' string, but no idea how to make it print the char not that string.

the last one gives me this error: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: truncated \uXXXX escape

probably just something i dont get about unicode and stringmanipulation but i hope someone can help me out here.

Thanks in advance o/

You can use chr to get the character for a unicode code point:

>>> chr(0x304E)
'ぎ'

You can use int to convert a hexadecimal string to an integer:

>>> int('304E', 16)
12366
>>> chr(int('304E', 16))
'ぎ'
