6 years ago Hi! This error is essentially saying that some file at whatever line is being imported, but it can't be understood as 'utf8'. There are many possible causes, some of which I have listed below (and hopefully other folks can contribute more).
Most likely, you may have something (like a header, a shebang, or an optional function-variable), somewhere (like in the file being opened, or the code that is opening it) forcing something to be interpreted as utf8 when it shouldn't be, or forcing something to be interpreted as something else when it ought to be utf8.
Other potential causes include...
- the file may contain disallowed characters.
- the file may not have been saved in the correct/expected format.
- the file may have become corrupted.
- the file may not exist, or may not be correctly referenced.
I hope that helps!

when I used the methods of Word Embeddings: with GloVe model for distributed word representation for Arabic Text (Sentiment Analysis for Arabic Text (tweets, reviews, and standard Arabic) ) but I have errors :
"TypeError: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xba in position 2: invalid start byte"
I tried to load the model with ignoring unicode errors, (unicode_errors='ignore') but it didn't solve the problem. can you help and orientate me to solve this error code?
regards.
