There are a few different things you can try to resolve this issue:

  1. Add the following line to the beginning of your Python script to specify the encoding:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Replace "utf-8" with the appropriate encoding if necessary.

  1. If you are using Python 3.x, use the "open" function with the appropriate encoding when reading or writing files. For example:
with open('file.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    # do something with the file
  1. If the issue persists, you can try running the PowerShell command "chcp 65001" before running your Python script. This sets the code page to UTF-8.

  2. If none of these solutions work, you may need to investigate the specific non-UTF characters causing the issue and find a way to encode or handle them appropriately.
