UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Question

I\'m working on a Python script that uses the scissor character (9986 - ✂) and I\'m trying to port my code to Mac, but I\'m running into this error.

The scissor char

Answer 1

in the first line of your file .py you need to add this string, :

# -- coding: utf-8 --

and you can also try this:

print ("|\t ",unichr(9986),"PySnipt'd",unichr(9986),"\t|")
