In my case, export PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 solved my issue.

Thanks for you quick response and shedding some light on the problem! To me just using a conforming character is the simpler, faster and more future prof approach, so that would get my vote 😃

If there is something I can do to help, please let me know.
