"Unable to translate bytes [F6] at index 0 from specified code page to Unicode."

SAP SALES CLOUD CPQ

Have a string with special character and consume it through scripts.

CPQ uses Python version 2.7, in this version, strings are byte strings, not unicode.

To define a different type of enconding, it should be explicitly defined on the Script:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
