Hi Dave,
you should set the correct encoding (maybe utf-8) in order to handle
data from web. You cannot handle unicode data with simple string, you
should encode to ASCII or manage data with the unicode type

Hi,
Welcome to Python tutor. Thanks for posting using text email, and for
specifying both your Python version and Operating system.
I am teaching myself programming in python and assistance with
UnicodeDecodeError
I am trying to scrap text from a website using Python 2.7 in windows
8 and
i am getting this error *"**UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap codec can't
encode
character u'\u2014 in position 11231 character maps to <undefined>"*
*How do i resolve? Pls assist.*
You can start by posting the whole error message, including the stack
trace. Then you probably should include an appropriate segment of
your code.
The message means that you've got some invalid characters that you're
trying to convert. That can either be that the data is invalid, or
that you're specifying the wrong encoding, directly or implicitly.
