Hi, thanks for bringing this up! I unfortunately haven't tested tableprint on windows and was unaware of this problem. It looks like there is a simple solution (I just need to add a .encode('utf-8') to a string before printing it, but I will double check and get back to you!

hey @nirum, I am thinking about using your lib to print tables on a windows application and I am encountering the same problem. any update here?
