Encoding issue while running the setup.py file

[AmarX23]

While running the setup.py file in the terminal there is an error i am encountering that suggests that there's an issue with decoding a file (README.md) using the 'cp1252' codec.

The corresponding code:

long_description=open("README.md").read(),

The error it is showing :

long_description=open("README.md").read(), File "C:\Python310\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 81: character maps to <undefined>
