Seems like double quotes are converted to ascii.When i try to wrap above string in python str() method it throws below error

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in position 45: ordinal not in range(128)

Is there any way i can convert this ascii to original value to save it in my db?
