Hi there.

I am reaching out to request for help to solve the problem I encountered. I am a completely newbie using PsychoPy.

I constructed an “instruction” routine and tried to run it. However, I encounter the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\builder\builder.py”, line 1206, in runFile
self.app.runner.panel.runLocal(event)

return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: ‘charmap’ codec can’t encode character ‘\u3010’ in position 27: character maps to

Frankly, I have tried multiple times, but this error exists all the time. I was wondering how to fix this problem. Many thanks!!!

Btw, I have also tried to run demo experiments. Still sends back this UnicodeEncodeError.

Oh. I see! My original folder contained a symbol which is not a Latin character. Thank you very much! Life saver!
