UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 27-29: ordinal not in range(128)

can any one give me a hint on how to solve this

erpnext version is
version = ‘8.0.46’

I have a feeling that this might already be fixed in later versions. Version 8 is already at EOL and no longer supported. However, you can still open an issue on github and someone from the community can pick it up.
