(Python)I have data in bytes,

b'\x03H\x8c\xec\x10\xf14~0F\x93\xe9Q&xZ\x054n\x9aa3+!\xa6B\xce\xef\x96\x9f\x80o-\xfb\xf4\x81\xe0\xa2\x96\x0cE\xa4D\xe6\x10\x9d\xb3\x12\r\xda\xfe\x00d*\xee;\xcekz`y\xe8\xd3{'

And I am told this is its string representation, and I am suspecting this is a hex string.

Does anyone know how to find the encoding for the bytes?

  • No, chardet does not work in my case. It returns None as the encoding. Commented May 18, 2020 at 17:16
  • This isn't UTF-8 nor UTF-16, nor either of the two popular Chinese pre-Unicode encodings (Big5, Guobiao). Try to find out more from the person who gave this problem to you. Commented May 18, 2020 at 17:16
  • Thanks for checking. Unfortunately the only information I have is this is a string of a hash. Commented May 18, 2020 at 17:19
