character maps to <undefined>

See original GitHub issue

Operating System: Windows Python: 3.10.2

Doing promnesia index on a folder of .md files resulted in multiple character maps to <undefined> errors.

They seem to be files with emojis like 🤝 or 🔁 characters like “ instead of "

What might be a good way of dealing with this?

So I may have found the solution. Python: Use the UTF-8 mode on Windows

I can confirm that using set PYTHONUTF8=1 in Command Prompt, or $Env:PYTHONUTF8="1" in PowerShell also seems to fix the error for me. 😊

~200 files. Only minor annoyance currently.

While knowing that not all of my URLS are indexed would be a deal breaker long term, I have a TON of URLs in other sources (like Todoist), so I still need to build out those sources, which will take awhile. 👍
