UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe4' #197

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

Typing a character with an accent or something from a none US layout gives this error, such as åäö

I think this is likely related to the locale settings on your server. If you change your locale to something like en_US.UTF-8 and restart the bot the error should go away.
