How to solve encoding problems with re.split?

Question

Python

Hello!
There is a .txt file with UTF-8 encoding and Cyrillic. Opens fine in jupyter (macOS).
I want to split it by tabs: I write f.split('/t'). I get something like:

xd0\xbc\xd0\xb0\xd0\xb3\xd0\xb0 \xd0\xbb\xd0\xb8\xd1\x81\xd1\x82\xd0\xbe\xd0\xb2\xd0\xb0\xd1\x8f

The division into words is correct, but the encoding is broken. How to fix?
Thanks in advance).

So:
"The division into words is correct, but the encoding is broken. How to fix it?"

with open('zzz.txt') as f:
  mylist = [line.split('\t') for line in f]
  print (mylist)
