# Step 1: Get the raw bytes of the garbled text (as UTF-8) | |
raw_bytes = garbled_text.encode('latin1') # Preserves exact byte values | |
# Step 2: Convert bytes to hex list (for debugging) | |
hex_bytes = [hex(b) for b in raw_bytes] # ['0xc2', '0xe2', '0xe5', ...] | |
# Step 3: Reinterpret the bytes as Windows-1251 (Cyrillic) | |
fixed_text = raw_bytes.decode('windows-1251') # Correct decoding | |
return fixed_text | |
# Test it | |
