In Python 2, strings are byte strings, in Python 3, strings by default are
Unicode text strings. You are seeing the UTF-8 representation of the text
string.
py> "\xfd\x84\x04\x08".encode('utf-8')
b'\xc3\xbd\xc2\x84\x04\x08'
So the behaviour in Python 3 is correct and not a bug, it has just changed
(intentionally) from Python 2.
Googling may help you find more about this:
