[Tutor] UnicodeEncodeError in python

[Juan Christian]

I'm iterating through Steam users and friend lists.

So, my program was working good, but then I got some UnicodeEncodeError
randomly, I didn't know where was the problem, then I was checking the
names that I got from the API by hand, and then I saw users with ™, ︻デ═一,
︻芫━━━━, º³® and tons of others different chars in their names...

How can I make a "bulletproof" program against these chars? Can Python read
them using some sort of function?
