It should be a encoding issue because this package use default encodings to extract the character .

You can try the code below and set the encoding which your data used

import xport.v56
from xport.v56 import _encoding

with _encoding(data="utf-8", metadata="utf-8"):
    with open('adae.xpt', 'rb') as f:
        library = xport.v56.load(f)
