Rasa emojis prevent command from being run

Question

I have been trying to follow the installation of rasa at the top of this page. The first installation command returns fine: pip install rasa-x --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple but when i run rasa init, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\U0001f916' in position 17: character maps to <undefined>

I've been looking at the rasa file that is creating this problem which is named scaffold.py and it contains many emojis including this line that throws the error: print_success("Welcome to Rasa! \U0001f916 \n")

The long \U0001f916 is the encoding of an emoji of which there are many in the scaffold file. I have tried commenting out the line and removing the emoji but the error still remains. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
