I don't get why they allow weird unicode character is these titles. For now I would use --restrict-names that should remove that unicode character causing the issue.

[uhue]

seems that using --restrict-names does not to fix it. I am still getting the same error.

Below is the command I am using. python "C:\Users\Areen Amjad\Documents\kemono-dl\kemono-dl.py" --cookies "C:\Users\Areen Amjad\Documents\kemono-dl\kemono.party_cookies.txt" --kemono-favorite-users --skip-comments --restrict-names --extract-links -o E:\kemono.party

Below is the error I am receiving.

For right now I would recommend using the --archive option and manually adding that post to it so it is skipped. even without `--restrict-names slashes should always remove from the file name. Will have to look into it more.

I finally figured out the issue of the stupid Unicode character. I will have a new release this weekend that fixes it.
