How to display Chinese characters inside a pandas dataframe?

Question

I can read a csv file in which there is a column containing Chinese characters (other columns are English and numbers). However, Chinese characters don\'t display correctly.

Answer 1

I just remembered that the source dataset was created using encoding='GBK', so I tried again using

data06_16 = pd.read_csv("../data/stocks1542monthly.csv", encoding="GBK")

Now, I can see all the Chinese characters.

Thanks guys!
