Open-sesame UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 2779: character maps to

Question

I'm trying to train open-sesame model following https://github.com/swabhs/open-sesame instructions. Here the issue:

(test-pip-install) C:\Users\GAIA\open-sesame>python -m sesame.targetid --mode train --model_name fn1.7-pretrained-targetid

When i launch the command above, then it returns these errors:
