How can one extract unicode characters from a string?

Question

Python

Good day. Please tell me how can I extract characters from unicode to UTF8.
Tried through decode - gives an error.

stroka = "d0\x92\xd1\x81\xd0\xb5\xd0\xbc \xd0\xbf\xd1\x80\xd0\xb8\xd0\xb2\xd0\xb5\xd1\x82"
print(stroka.decode("utf8"))

The error itself is:
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

Answer 1

>>> stroka = b"\xd0\x92\xd1\x81\xd0\xb5\xd0\xbc \xd0\xbf\xd1\x80\xd0\xb8\xd0\xb2\xd0\xb5\xd1\x82"
>>> stroka.decode('utf-8')
'Всем привет'
