Can you put encoded strings into .txt files? - Alivegamer - May-04-2022

I have been trying to encode a text and then put it into a txt file but it doesn't show correctly.
When it's in the variable : b'\xff\xfe\x00\x00b\x00\x00\x00l\x00\x00\x00o\x00\x00\x00p\x00\x00\x00'
when it's in the txt file : p a s s w o r d

Is there a way to put in the variable's data into the txt?

The python code:
def Sighin():
    os.system("cls")
    print("What is your name?")
    Input = input(": ")
    Input.lower()
    fileName = Input
    os.system("cls")
    print("What's your password?")
    Input = input(": ")
    fileContent = Input.encode("utf_32")
    print(fileContent)
    FileW = open(fileName + ".txt", "wb")
    FileW.write(fileContent)
    FileW.close()
