how to read in csv file with Chinese characters in python

Question

The csv file I have messy code which is supposed to be chinese characters. I want to read the file into python with the chinese characters not messy as before. How do I do that? I tried pandas.read_csv with encoding like gb2312 or gb18030, they all report error like UnicodeDecodeError: 'gb2312' codec can't decode byte 0xae in position 4: illegal multibyte sequence

My data:
