utf-8 encoding should be default for the open() statement

[Silver-Volt4]

I found this script with google, it's insane that it's only been published yesterday.
Anyway, to make it work for me, I had to add this to the open() statement:
encoding="utf-8"
So that would make:
with open(subreddit + '_' + thing + '_' + str(int(time.time())) + '.txt', 'w', encoding="utf-8") as f:

other than that, thanks for the script, it's great!

Thank you so much for this - I will patch the issue ASAP
Also if you have issues with the data being in single quotes this seemed to fix all the data issues for me - https://gist.github.com/mbrzusto/23fe728966247f25f3ec

You will most likely want to use f.write(json.dumps(data)) as a fix, instead of a plain str()
