How can I convert a pandas dataframe to an csv file without getting the UnicodeEncodeError

Question

I am trying to export a pandas dataframe to a csv file using the to_csv() as:

export_file_path=fd.asksaveasfile(filetypes=[("CSV File","*.csv"),("All Files","*.*")],defaultextension="*.csv",initialdir=fDir,initialfile="Untitled")
if export_file_path:
    df.to_csv(export_file_path)

Getting this error:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\♀' in position 13: character maps to

Answer 1

Error occurs because you are not specifying the encoding

Try this:

df.to_csv(file_name, sep='\\t', encoding='utf-8')
