Solved by 6ab31047386a ("Treat all YAML templates files as UTF-8 encoded") Make sure your .yml templates file is UTF-8 encoded. See https://github.com/invoice-x/invoice2data/pull/449

``` lines: parser: lines start: Article Description with Specs.* end: C.S.T. first_line: \s*(?P[\d]+)\s+(?P.*)\s+/(?P.*)\s+/(?P.*)\s+(?P\w\w)\s+(?P\d+\.\d+)\s+(?P\d+\.\d+)\s+(?P\d+\.\d+)\s+(?P\d+\.\d+) line: \s+(?P.+)\s+(?P\d+\.\d+)\s+(?P\d+\.\d+)\s+(?P\d+\.\d+)\s+(?P\d+\.\d+) ```
