I try to use this amazing script with some facebook fanpage it work very good. But have a problem in write out the data. For example all Vietnamese character like this:

CÃ³ khi cÃ²n khÃ´ng biáº¿t luÃ´n áº¥y chá»© :v

have any one got this issue for language with extenal character out of alphabet? And what way to fix it?

minimaxir commented 7 years ago

Similar to #51.

Are you using Python 2 or 3?

PhanDuc commented 7 years ago

@tomcangbk, Try to encode with utf-8-sig and use Python 3 for better encode, decode

Hi @minimaxir & @PhanDuc

I have tried using Python 2 and 3 both file having the same content. Is that some special thing to add to script?
