How to decode the wrong encoded "b'\\xc3\\xb1'" on Python 3.10

Question

How can I output the incoming name data as a regular string? My code is here.

playerName = u''.join((name)).encode('utf-8').strip()

the output of this line

I\xc3\xb1aki Williams

must be Iñaki Williams

Answer 1

This code prints "Iñaki Williams"

name = "I\xc3\xb1aki Williams"
name = name.encode('latin')
name = name.decode()
print(name)
