Serial Comm with pyscript

[octopaws]

if results.multi_hand_landmarks: # if this statement is true, enter the for loop
ic = '1'
command = ic
serialInst.write(command.encode('utf-8'))

The pyscript is a mediapipe code. the serial prints fine

on my C side i have this in my loop
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
String(msg) = Serial.readString();
Serial.println("Message:");
Serial.println(msg);

i noticed the serial monitor only prints like this Message:"0000000000000011111111111111111"

while i was expecting it to print like
Message:0
Message:1
Message:0

which is like the big issue because i need the message to be split so the controls .

int ledpin = 2;
int buzzer = 3;
int n = 1;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(ledpin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  if (Serial.available() > 0) {
    String(msg) = Serial.readString();
    Serial.println("Message:");
    Serial.println(msg);

    digitalWrite(ledpin, HIGH);


    if (msg == "1") {
      digitalWrite(buzzer, HIGH);
    }

    else if (msg == "0") {
      digitalWrite(buzzer, HIGH);
      delay(200);
      digitalWrite(buzzer, LOW);
    } 

  else {
    digitalWrite(ledpin, LOW);
  }
}
delay(500);
}

If you want one character, why not use Serial.read()?
