The information you give is not sufficient to give a fix, but my crystal
ball says that the string you pass to unescape() contains an e with acute
encoded in utf-8 and not as an html escape. Instead of
unescape(mydata)
try
unescape(mydata.decode("utf-8"))
If that doesn't fix the problem come back with a self-contained example.
