I *presume* that you're using Linux since you've got a hashbang, so...

You can *check* that it's the local environment that's the issue with
the *test* of setting the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable. But if
that works, then it tells you must then fix the underlying environment's
character encoding to give a permanent fix.

$ PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 python3 -c 'print(u"\u00A9")'

$ PYTHONIOENCODING=ascii python3 -c 'print(u"\u00A9")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xa9' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
