needs help in how to translate ≾

[Ian Maurer]

This code accomplishes that goal... but it's not very reusable. At
a minimum you need to put the (non-print) steps in a function.

>>> text = "(('&#8830Hello World&#8830'),(''))"
>>> tupl = eval(text)
>>> print tupl
('&#8830Hello World&#8830', '')
>>> s = tupl[0]
>>> print s
&#8830Hello World&#8830
>>> final = s.replace("&#8830", '"')
>>> print final
"Hello World"
>>>

Good Luck!
