You should encode your string not decode. Your provided list (array of string as you mentioned) consists of a unicode sting. To represent a unicode string as a string of bytes is known as encoding, use u'...'.encode(encoding). Then by using string.split() you can break that encoded string down into smaller chunks, or strings.
lst = [u'ROWKEY\ufffdACCOUNTID\ufffdACCOUNTIDDSC']
new_list = [i.encode('utf8') for i in lst[0].split(u'\ufffd')]
print(new_list)
Output would be:
['ROWKEY', 'ACCOUNTID', 'ACCOUNTIDDSC']

Do it like this:
old_list = [u'ROWKEY\ufffdACCOUNTID\ufffdACCOUNTIDDSC']
new_list = old_list[0].split(u'\ufffd')
print(new_list)
Hope it helps.

Use str.split()
>>> [u'ROWKEY\ufffdACCOUNTID\ufffdACCOUNTIDDSC'][0].split(u"\ufffd")
[u'ROWKEY', u'ACCOUNTID', u'ACCOUNTIDDSC']

Using Regex. re.split
Ex:
import re
l = u'ROWKEY\ufffdACCOUNTID\ufffdACCOUNTIDDSC'
print(re.split(r"[^a-zA-Z]", l))
Output:
[u'ROWKEY', u'ACCOUNTID', u'ACCOUNTIDDSC']
