Troubleshooting

Bot crashes with the unicode error

If your bot code crashes with the error that ends with UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character, your terminal likely has problems showing unicode symbols. To fix this you can change your terminal local by adding the following lines to you ~/.bashrc file (or any other shell configuration):

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
