read mtext string contains Chinese character

[leateng]

I open a DXF file which contains some Chinese character,
when I print e.text(e is MText obj), I got "\M+1974C\M+18CC0\M+18CF6\M+18E69"
what's this, and how could I convert this str to a human-readable utf-8 string?

Sorry, I have no idea how this encoding works.

It appears to be returning some sort of vector graphics data. You could search for the Chinese character directly in the dxf file (opening with a text editor) and see what it looks like- might help with solving your problem!

I believe this is a multibyte string (MBCS), hence the M+ marker. You probably need to know or guess at the underlying code page in order to convert it to Unicode.
