Unicode in python can be frustrating.
When encoding into utf-8 python first needs the string to be in unicode.
It will implicitly convert into unicode if it's not there already, and
this is where the first error message came from: python ran across a
character that it didn't know how to interpret during the conversion to
unicode.
The solution to this is to fix the decoding step, making it explicit and
telling python to ignore or replace bad encoding while also telling
python what encoding to use if we know.
But... what startup crash?
