Read Json file with non-ascii keys with python - how to reference the keys? [duplicate]

Question

I have the following json:

{"Rotações": "string"}

And this python script with the corresponding result:

import json

with open('apaga.json') as jsonin:
    jsondict = json.load(jsonin)

print(jsondict)

> {'RotaÃ§Ãµes': 'string'}

So I don't know how to call this RotaÃ§Ãµes key, since it corresponds to Rotações.

The following does not work:

print(jsondict['Rotações'.encode('latin')])

> KeyError: b'Rota\xe7\xf5es'

Try decoding to "utf-8"

Ex:

print(jsondict['Rotações'.decode('utf-8')])

Tested in python2.7
