UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' 编解码器无法编码字符/写入 txt 文件

Question

i'm parcing a text file that has text in xml like configuration and the code i tried is this

file_handle_tester = open("C:/Users/pc/Desktop/talabat yarmook.txt","r", encoding="utf8")


sec_file = open("C:/Users/pc/Desktop/parced_text.txt","w")
a='com.talabat:id/textView_restaurantName'
menu = list()

for line in file_handle_tester:
    line = line.strip()
    menu.append(line)

for line in menu:
    sec_file.write(line)

python is not letting me print lines from the original file to the new file and i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\pc\Desktop\pyAppiumSandBox\venv\parcing_handle.py", line 14, in <module>
    sec_file.write(line)
  File "C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 19, in encode
    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 95-101: character maps to <undefined>

in the code above i tried to put the lines in a list because python has no problem with printing them on screen. the entire issue is when writing them. but i still get the same error.

i tried opening the txt in byte format and decode it but that didn't work also

Simply change sec_file = open("C:/Users/pc/Desktop/parced_text.txt","w") to

sec_file = open("C:/Users/pc/Desktop/parced_text.txt","w", encoding='utf-8')
