OK, so a string is a sequence of Unicode characters. But a file on disk is not a sequence of Unicode characters; a file on disk is a sequence of bytes. So if you read a &#8220;text file&#8221; from disk, how does Python convert that sequence of bytes into a sequence of characters? The answer is that it decodes the bytes according to a specific character encoding algorithm, and returns a sequence of Unicode characters, otherwise known as a string.
