Otherwise it is interpreted as ASCII it seems and certain messages produce the following error:

python: stdout/stderr (weemoji):     return MATCHER.sub(replace_emoji, message)
python: stdout/stderr (weemoji): UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 28: ordinal not in range(128)
python: error in function "interpolate_emoji_cb"

Turns out this is needed only for Python 2 and doesn't work in Python 3. Considering Python 2 is deprecated, the fix is probably not needed.
