This error is unrelated to the fact that you created an exception

Your terminal has been detected as using the 'ascii' encoding, so
while that's true no attempt to output non-ASCII characters will work.

You'll need to change whatever settings are on your terminal emulator
so that it is using an encoding (such as 'utf-8') which can display
the characters you want.
