UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u0144' in position 75: character maps to

[NJStudent1]

Hi,

My issue is similar to a closed issue - #10

I checked the convert_xml2.py file and its contents are same as what was recommended as a solution for using python 3.7 and above on Windows in the closed issue. I also tried python -X utf8 on command prompt but still get an error which I am sharing below. Kindly help in resolving this. Thanks!
