UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character at special name [duplicate]
Solution 1:
Try setting the system default encoding as utf-8 at the start of the script, so that all strings are encoded using that.
Example -
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
The above should set the default encoding as utf-8 .
Solution 2:
You really want to do this
flog.write("\nCompany Name: "+ pCompanyName.encode('utf-8'))
This is the "encode late" strategy described in this unicode presentation (slides 32 through 35).
