In windows cli, run "chcp 65001"

I have the same issue. Were you able to resolve the problem @WurstCommander?

[WurstCommander]

chcp 65001 before executing the app solved it.

but I opend the *.py files in pycharm and saved, maybe it changed the encoding too?

advice from an utter n00b: Issue from what I can tell are the emojis used throughout api.py - I just replaced those with plaintext and it started playing nicely again.
