I have a program for a Blackjack game. It is not completed but I am having an issue with Unicode. When it prints a string it is not in the correct format (Look Below). It is Python 3.

from unicurses import *
import sys
import time
from random import choice as rc
import random
def total(hand): #total
 aces = hand.count(11)
 t = sum(hand)
 if t > 21 and aces > 0:
 while aces > 0 and t > 21:
 t -= 10
 aces -= 1
 return t
def random(one,two):
 import random
 number = random.randint(one,two)
 return number
def number():
 number = random(1,13)
 if number == 13:
 value = '0'
 elif number == 12:
 value = '0'
 elif number == 11:
 value = '0'
 elif number == 10:
 value = '0'
 elif number < 10:
 value = number
 return value
def card():
 cardnumber = number()
 card = cardnumber
 return card
def store10Cards():
 tenCards = [card(),
 card(),
 card(),
 card(),
 card(),
 card(),
 card(),
 card(),
 card(),
 card()]
 return tenCards
stdscr = initscr()
cards = store10Cards()
mvaddstr(10, 10, '┌──────────┐\n│{} │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ {}│\n└──────────┘'.format(cards[0], cards[0]).encode('utf-8'))
#deck = [] #deck of cards
#cwin = 0 #computer wins
#pwin = 0 #player wins
#for i in range (2, 11):
 # for j in range ([24, 72][i == 10]):
 # deck.append(i)
#stdscr = initscr() #Start the standard screen 
start_color() #Start the color service
init_pair(1, COLOR_RED, 0) #color pair 1 is red text and no highlighting
init_pair(2, COLOR_WHITE, 0) #color pair 2 is white text and no highlighting
addstr('\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------', color_pair(1) | A_BOLD)

noecho() #Stops inputs from being shown

 clear() #clears before displaying the next text
 addstr('\n\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------', color_pair(1) | A_BOLD)
 addstr('\n\nOk. That Is Ok.

 time.sleep(1)

 a = '' #resets input variable

Here is the line I am having issues with:

mvaddstr(10, 10, '┌──────────┐\n│{} │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ │\n│ {}│\n└──────────┘'.format(cards[0], cards[0]).encode('utf-8'))

I tried to encode it with UTF-8 and set Command Prompt to UTF-8 by doing chcp then when I run that program that string prints:

b'\xe2\x94\x8c\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\x e2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x90\n\xe2\x94\x823 \xe2\x94\x82\n\xe2\x94\x82 \t \xe2\x94\x82\n\xe2\x94\x82 \t \xe2 \x94\x82\n\xe2\x94\x82 \t \xe2\x94\x82\n\xe2\x94\x82 \t \xe2\x94\x82\n\x e2\x94\x82 \t \xe2\x94\x82\n\xe2\x94\x82 \t \xe2\x94\x82\n\xe2\x94\x82 \t \xe2\x94\x82\n\xe2\x94\x82 3\xe2\x94\x82\n\xe2\x94\x94\xe2\x94\x80\xe 2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\ x94\x80\xe2\x94\x80\xe2\x94\x98'

Please help me print the string like it should be and not be in unicode.

If you have any other suggestions on my code let me know.
