I guess I get to solve my own thread (thanks again to the Natural Language Toolkit's online tutorial). The function repr() appears to give me what I need:
[code=Python]
line = u'\u0144'
line_utf = line.encode('ut f8')
print 'line = ', line_utf
print 'line repr = ', repr(line_utf)
[/code]

line repr = '\xc5\x84'
