python 3.x have an error while reading a file. 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 3582: ordinal not in range(128)

Question

When reading a file with this code faced error:

with open("hist", "rb") as f:
    hist = pickle.load(f)


hist = pickle.load(f)

Error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 3582: ordinal not in range(128)

Try setting the encoding while load.

Ex:

hist = pickle.load(f, encoding='utf-8') #or'latin1' or 'bytes'
