There seems to be an issue in the default setup.py which comes with the Python 3.6.5 installer. Upon trying to install an additional package through pip the below is observed:

C:\Users\adamj\Desktop>pip install stegano

We don't having to do with the stegano project. It looks like they specified the wrong encoding in their setup.py. (This also isn't the issue tracker for pip, but I don't think they have the bug.)
