lst = ['you', # str type, unicode encoding
     str ('you'), # ibid
     u'you ', # ibid

     # encode convert str to bytes type, you can use decode to convert back to str type
    
     'You'.encode (' utf-8 '), # b' \ xe4 \ xbd \ xa0 ', UTF-8 encoding, a Chinese character 3 Byte
     'You'.encode (' gbk '), # b' \ xc4 \ xe3 ', gbk, gbxxxx encoding, one Chinese character 2 Byte
