Error while running poetry init: "codec can't encode character u'\xf3'"

[Abuelodelanada]

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

When running init to generate a pyproject.toml I get the following no matter if i write something or not in Description

➜  rgh git:(develop) poetry  init -vvv

Hello @Abuelodelanada ,

this was reported earlier in #221 and seems to be a problem with special characters in your git config.
