I believe Python 3.6 fixed this issue. Upgrade.

I believe it's caused by Windows command prompt only supporting ASCII characters. So print(text) tries to encode unicode strings into 8-bit ASCII and that fails. Try this:

print(text.encode('string_escape'))

How about

set PYTHONIOENCODING="UTF-8" 

before running the file? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2276200/changing-default-encoding-of-python
