See this exhaustive comment on SO why I have a bad feeling about this solution - which is rather a hack which does not solves the underlying problem, but lifts the success rate. Just from the changes here I'm not yet aware of the corresponding code, but I'll try to look at this when I have the time.

Python2 is EOL now, does Nautilus really still depend on it and didn't make the move to Python3 by now?

So the solution should be the correct setup of the locale/environment with/of PYTHONIOENCODING.

I tried export PYTHONIOENCODING="UTF-8" in my ~/.profile but I can still see the error message …

Thanks in advance!

At least in Fedora 33+ Nautilus does not use Python 2 anymore (but Python 3.9) and I don't see the issue there.
