Fix UnicodeDecodeError
in Datasets
✅ Solution
UnicodeDecodeError often arises when reading files with an encoding different from the expected one (usually UTF-8). Specify the correct encoding when opening the file using the `encoding` parameter (e.g., `encoding='latin-1'` or `encoding='utf-8'`) in the dataset loading function or file reading operation. If the file contains broken or invalid characters, consider using `errors='ignore'` or `errors='replace'` to skip or replace problematic characters during decoding.
