UnicodeEncodeError. due to special characters

[pg2455]

Thanks for open sourcing this library. I am trying to use it for my project, and it seems like my system can't handle the special characters as in the line here.

I get this error on running a basic setup -

UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 0-26: ordinal not in range(256)

My current workaround to this problem is to replace those characters with normal ones, e.g., "-" and "|".
