Fix UnicodeDecodeError
in LlamaIndex
✅ Solution
UnicodeDecodeError commonly arises when reading files with an encoding different from the assumed UTF-8 default. Specify the correct file encoding (e.g., 'latin-1', 'cp1252') when opening the file, for example, `open("filename.txt", "r", encoding="latin-1")`. Alternatively, ensure the file is saved in UTF-8 encoding if possible for better compatibility.
