I'm having issues with getting some values from this page:

http://www.remax-malta.com/Maisonette-For-Sale-St-Pauls-Bay-North_240041024-145

To be more specific here's a picture of what I can(colored green) and 
can't(colored red) scrape:

Example of writing xpath for Total rooms is:

response.xpath('//span[text()="Total Rooms:"]/preceding::span/text()').
extract()[-1]

This prints: u'3' which is value I'm after.

But when I try to write xpath for Plot Size (m²) like this one:

response.xpath('//span[text()="Plot Size (m²)"]/preceding::span/text()').
extract()[-1]


I get this error:

ValueError: All strings must be XML compatible: Unicode or ASCII, no NULL 
bytes or control characters


I know I get this because of '²' character. Can somebody help me out with 
writing proper xpath? Or maybe there's another way of getting value from 
xpath?
