Should you ever come back please take the time to post the "details" here.
Also, provide the traceback as text rather than an image.
Thank you.
As the answer on stackoverflow says, the file is opened using the cp1252
encoding when it should be utf-8.
While I don't know how to make that the default on Windows here's a
workaround:
import pandas
with open("input.json", encoding="utf-8") as infile:
df = pandas.read_json(infile)
