To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Create a new venv install reflex

Expected behavior I would expect it to say initialized and not return an error

Specifics (please complete the following information):

• Python Version: 3.12
• Pip: 24.2
• Reflex Version: 0.5.9
• OS: Win 11

Thanks for reporting. Does the issue happen if you try to initialize with another template (like the blank one)?

Good question, I'm not sure. Sorry for delay, I'll check and get back to you

The issue arises due to a UnicodeEncodeError when reflex init encounters a non-ASCII character. The solution could be to specify UTF-8 encoding in the filepath.write_text function by adding encoding="utf-8" to handle all characters properly.
