Using the unicodedata.decomposition function on characters like \u201c and \u201d I didn't get back the classic quote character (").
This is a very common error when text is taken from Microsoft Word (where in italian language a couple of quoting character in a sentence like "foo" is automatically changed to "foo").

I don't understand why you would expect to get a ". The unicode characters aren't "s. As far as I can see (from, for example, http://codepoints.net/U+201C), Python is behaving as expected here.

A codepoint such as "é" ("\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE}") can be decomposed to "\u0065\u0301" ("\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER E}\N{COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT"), but "\u201c" ("\N{LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK}") and "\u201d" ("\N{RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK}") cannot be decomposed.
