trouble installing with pip or conda #12

Closed air-kyi closed 1 year ago

air-kyi commented 1 year ago

Hi, I'm getting an issue when I try to install this package. It's because of the IPA characters in the first line of the README - Windows encoding is cp1252, not utf8. Can we delete this? Or do you know how to force install while ignoring the characters?
