I can't reproduce the issue. In what encoding is your .env file and what's the default encoding on your system? You might want to try the encoding parameter of load_dotenv.

I have the same problem with the errorlog: UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0x91 in position 12: incomplete multibyte sequence
And I succeed in solve this by the following code:

load_dotenv(encoding='utf8')

手动传个编码就解决了嘛~

How about changing default encoding from locale specific to UTF-8?

Probably duplicate of #300

Yes, and I think that this particular issue was resolved so let me close it.
