UnicodeDecodeError running in Windows

[jocolamarco]

Get the following error when running the tool in Windows:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 1162: character maps to <undefined>

EDIT: I was able to workaround this by activating a beta feature in Windows10

@jocolamarco I'm interested to know what feature you enabled in order to get around this error.

Unfortunately, It seems the 0x9d character doesn't have a corresponding entry in the utf-8 character map. I'm curious what format the the file on your system is? If there are other reports of errors related to charmaps I may use the chardet module to attempt to determine the encoding of files before reading from them.

I used notepad++ and sublime console features to check system encoding in win10. It came up as 'undefined'. Then, after some googling, i went into advanced settings and enabled the following: "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support". *All Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> "Administrative Language Settings* A domingo, 6/06/2021, 20:18, Nathan Sain ***@***.***> escreveu:

Thanks for the information and your solution. I'm going to close this issue. I'll reopen it if character encoding on Windows continues to be a general problem.
