Perhaps it isn't valid UTF-8, but 8-bit characters in some encoding.

Perhaps it isn't valid UTF-8, but 8-bit characters in some encoding.

Or perhaps it is valid UTF-8, but the OP's code is picking up strg
[:nchars] instead of strg[:nbytes] or somehow otherwise separating the
two (or maybe even 3) bytes that UTF-8 needs to make up the character.

Perhaps the OP might
print repr(all_the_undecoded_bytes_he_has)
then we might have a clue about how to give him a clue ...
