Apr 27, 2012 · It is worth noting that what WHATWG encoding spec and web browsers refer to as GBK is not the Python implementation of GBK, and its quite possible to have characters in a GBK encoded web page that Python's GBK implementation can't handle. Similar issues occur in other CJK encodings. –

Jun 26, 2019 · It often occurs to me when I try to manipulate data, for example "UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0x91 in position 2196: illegal multibyte sequence".

Jul 20, 2022 · I use InputStreamReader to read the GBK encoding txt, I thought lineTxt would be GBK encoded as well, but when I compare to the "WGS 84 / UTM zone 44N" which is enconding by UTF-8, they are the same. here is the code: 1、s is the String of UTF-8 encoding. 2、lineTxt is the String of GBK encoding(I'm not sure, but i know the "read" is GBK)

Apr 20, 2019 · In this case the system encoding is gbk, but gbk is unable to encode the third character in the string ('\ue13b'), so the UnicodeEncodeException is raised. One solution would be to set the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable to UTF-8 when you call Python: PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python myscript.py

It's hard to say without you showing your code, but it looks like you opened the file in text mode with a "gbk" encoding. It should probably be opened in binary mode. If that doesn't happen, make a small code example that fails, and paste it in here.

Mar 9, 2015 · How Charset.defaultCharset() return GBK. I didn't set anything in my WIN8 related default charset except the one for "language for non-Unicode Programs" in control panel. It is this because Java thinks you set this for Windows.

Aug 25, 2013 · In GBK all characters are encoded as 1 or 2 bytes. Since GBK is specialized for Chinese, it uses less bytes in average than UTF-XXX to represent a given Chinese text, and more for other languages. In UTF-8 and 16, the number of bytes per glyph is variable, so you have to look at how many bytes are used for the Chinese code points.

gbk 是专业的简体中文正文字体一般都会支持的字符集。 从 GB 2312、GBK 往上还有一个 GB 18030（初版 GB 18030-2000 支持 Unicode 3.0 的汉字，超过二万七千个；最新版本是 GB 18030-2005，支持 Unicode 4.1 的超过七万个汉字），这三个国标的字符集依次增大，并向后兼容。

Dec 6, 2016 · UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0xad in position 123: illegal multibyte sequence

Sep 8, 2019 · So it's obvious my python choose the 'gbk' to decode an 'utf8' file with unknown reason. However, it is infeasible for me to add encoding="utf8" to every piece of code in a third-party library. I want to force my python opening file automatically with utf-8. I checked the sys.getdefaultencoding() and it is 'utf8' as usual.
