04_loops : UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 619: character maps to <undefined>

[fornoj]

The encoding on my windows computer is 'cp1252'. When I execute the following cell of the 04_loops notebook: fp = open('2600-0.txt') count = 0 for line in fp: count += 1

I get the following error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 619: character maps to <undefined>

I executed the notebook on local and not on colab The issue is solved with encoding='utf8'
