Does this answer your question? [UnicodeDecodeError when reading a text file](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30777370/unicodedecodeerror-when-reading-a-text-file) – Axisnix Dec 16 '20 at 15:21

Use `utf_16_le` or `UTF-16LE`. From [here](https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings) – progmatico Dec 16 '20 at 18:40
