UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte

[sl3d-space]

appmanifest_1406850.txt

Is there anything that can be done by the library user to have this file parsed correctly?

The problematic field is this one:
"installdir" "The Legend of Liāu Thiam Ting"

Thanks

Doesn't look like library issue. Whatever way you are loading the file is not using the correct codec when decoding the file.

Try: vdf.load(open('appmanifest_1406850.txt', encoding='utf8'))
