gitinspector crashes with not being able to encode a unicode character

[Sermus]

For me it crashes when it's invoked with
python.exe gitinspector.py -lr --format=html --file-types=c,cpp,cs,csproj,sln,sql,xaml,asmx,config,dbml,publishsettigs,bat,settings,cmd,csdef,vcxproj,saproj -x Reference,.designer.cs,GMap.NET,GlobalExpert,onvifcombined,Xmpp -l ../Code/ForestGuard 1>statJan2016.html

The symptom is:

Exception in thread Thread-2993:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\lib\threading.py", line 810, in bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "D:\Tools\gitinspector\gitinspector\blame.py", line 94, in run

Hi.

Your terminal is probably set to standard ASCII. This is already covered in the FAQ.
This is most likely related to the terminal and not gitinspector directly. See issues #9, #19 and #54 for previous discussions on this. There are also a few other issues that cover this.

Please report if any of the above fixes the issue.

Yes, you're right. Sorry for not reading FAQ section thoroughly enough.

No worries. Great to hear that it's working. Marking as invalid and closing.
