[Tutor] UnicodeEncodeError: 'cp932' codec can't encode character '\xe9' in position

So I tried that:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Azaz\Desktop\CK2 Map Painter\Parser\test parser.py",
line 6, in <module>
    text = alpha.readlines()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp932' codec can't decode bytes in position
1374-1375: illegal multibyte sequence

Me neither. I will research this tomorrow.

While that might be a tempting solution, it would be best if this
worked without having to do any changes to the environment itself; it
would be best if it could run on any platform, but I'll take a Windows
machine with no changes to command line if I have to.
