unicode for beginners

I have something of a csv file which has somehow been converted into something that looks like this; " FOZ DE IGUAZ\u00da" and " R\u00cdO DE JANEIRO" Is there a simple way to convert this into something a little bit readable? Is there a simple command in python to convert this? Thank you. -- htt
