How do you import a dictionary from a .csv file?

[snippsat]

how can I import this .csv into my dict especially when it has special characters?

Read in with utf-8,once in inside it's a normal string(Unicode) as Python 3 has made big changes to Unicode.

import csv

with open('data.csv', encoding='utf-8') as csv_file:
    csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=':')
    my_dict =  dict([row for row in csv_reader])

print(my_dict)

Output:
{'h': 'ᛄ', 'j': '☆', 'k': '☇'}

>>> my_dict['k']
'☇'
