@sonjageorgievska could you check if #112 resolves your issue?

Run

git fetch
git checkout fix_utf8_read
pip install -e .
estep validate -v

For good measure, add some Unicode characters in one of the files, e.g. copy the text on https://www.esciencecenter.nl/profile/maarten-van-meersbergen-msc to _person/m.vanmeersbergen.md to the description and save, and run estep validate -v again.

Stale issue. Closing.
