Can't convert unicode char ✓ (U+2713)

[Gamecraft400]

I try to convert a old docx file with markitdown.

charmap return this error :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code File "[Hide]\Python\Python313\Scripts\markitdown.exe\__main__.py", line 7, in <module> sys.exit(main()) ~~~~^^ File "[Hide]\Python313\Lib\site-packages\markitdown\__main__.py", line 43, in main print(result.text_content) ~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "[Hide]\Python\Python313\Lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 19, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u261e' in position 5820: character maps to <undefined>

i want know how can hacking the software

[Gamecraft400]

I've found a solution. In my case, my docx document is encoded in UTF8,

I've just set PYTHONUTF8=1

And it works now

This should be the default. UTF-8 should be the default everywhere. We are hading towards 2025. This is not 1996.

I use python -X utf8 -m markitdown to solve this issue. I totally agreed how @jromal said, the UTF-8 should be default as always.
