UnicodeEncodeError: ‘…’ codec can’t encode …¶
This error occurs when your terminal or system encoding does not support certain Unicode characters (e.g., emoji, Arabic script, CJK characters) that appear in messages.
Fix it by setting the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable before running your script:
$ PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python my_script.py
On Windows, you can also run:
$ chcp 65001
Or configure it permanently in your terminal settings.
