[Tutor] help: UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(1 28)

[Furmanek, Greg]

I am trying to manipulate string containing hex characters.

I get following error when I try to join the strings:
UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

How can I join strings containing "\x81" without the error?
