Depends on what you want to do with them:
>>> string = '\xc5\xeb\xc7\xd5\xbc'
>>> for char in string:
print char
Å
ë
Ç
Õ
¼
>>> list_of_characters = list(string)
>>> list_of_characters
['\xc5', '\xeb', '\xc7', '\xd5', '\xbc']
>>> for char in string:
char
'\xc5'
'\xeb'
'\xc7'
'\xd5'
'\xbc'
>>> for char in list_of_characters:
print char
Å
ë
Ç
Õ
¼
>>> string[3]
'\xd5'
>>> string[1:3]
'\xeb\xc7'
Basically, you characters are already separated into a list of
characters, that's effectively what a string is (but with a few more
methods applicable only to lists of characters, not to other lists).
