Problem downloading channels with accented characters

[leonard-limon]

I found out that youtube-dl would throw an error every-time I try to download a video from a channel that has an accented character in its URL. For example this would throw an error :

youtube-dl -j --playlist-items 1 -- "https://www.youtube.com/c/LeRèglement"

Same error for me, no one would have an idea to overcome this problem?

replace the accented e in LeReglement with a regular e
and then retry the download

That worked, thanks for the workaround!
