This creates a list of literal strings like

"\u0140",....

Which is identical to writing:

ucode = ["\\u0140",...]

So you have the \u as characters within the string
which is not what you want.

Instead you want to get the character values from
the hex values in middle dot which you can do using
chr() and int().

for dot in middle_dot:
   print(chr(int(dot,16)))

However it would be easier just to store the hex values directly:

middle_dot = [0x0140, 0x013F, 0x00B7, 0x2027)
for dot in middle_dot:
    print(chr(dot))
