Are you running the training on a remote machine (ssh)?

I had a similar issue. It worked fine locally but I uploaded the solution to a beefy AWS box and ran in to unicode issues.

To fix the issue I had to comment out the line in my global SSH config which forwards your locale settings from your local machine.

The file is: /etc/ssh/ssh_config and you need to add a # to the start of the SendEnv line like so:

Host *
#       SendEnv LANG LC_*
