# obtained from some input, I assume
hs =3D "5E74"
# processing begins here
hs =3D '0x'+hs
unistr =3D unichr( int(hs) )

This method, as shown, only works for a single character.  It converts
the hex string to an integer, and from there to a unicode character
(or a unicode string of length 1, if you prefer).

Failure is not an option.  It is bundled with the software.
