UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2794' (➔) in position 0: character maps to <undefined>

Having an RTF file containing A ➔ B fails.

Example file

Test.rtf.txt (remove .txt from it)

from striprtf.striprtf import rtf_to_text  # pip3 install striprtf

FILE = 'example_rtf_from_above.rtf'
with open(FILE, 'r') as f:
    data = f.read()
# end with

data = rtf_to_text(data)

results in the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Updating from 0.0.20 to 0.0.26 fixed this.
