You don't even need the `.split("")`, strings are iterable and hence a valid argument for `join`. – Abdul Aziz Barkat Mar 15 '23 at 05:55

@KhawarIslam That is a separate question (which is also a duplicate), your file isn't using UTF-8 encoding. See: [SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\x91'](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23092176/syntaxerror-non-utf-8-code-starting-with-x91) – Abdul Aziz Barkat Mar 15 '23 at 06:17
