## UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc8 in position 0。的问题

``python

大一上学期刚刚接触python，在学习老师讲解的jieba库的使用时遇到了一点点问题，在经过大佬的讲解和查阅资料后：

Python使用open读取txt中文内容的文件时，有可能会报错，报错内容如下：

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc8 in position 0。　　
这里举一个例子：txt=open("三国演义.txt","r",encoding="utf-8").read()，在运行时就会报错。　　
要处理这个问题有两个办法，如下：

第一个办法，**将编码方式由utf-8改为gb18030**，即txt=open("三国演义.txt","r",encoding="**gb18030**").read（）
```python
import jieba
excludes = {"将军","却说","荆州","二人","不可","不能","如此"}
txt = open("三国演义.txt", "r", encoding='gb18030').read()
words  = jieba.lcut(txt)
counts = {}
for word in words:
    if len(word) == 1:
        continue
    elif word == "诸葛亮" or word == "孔明曰":
        rword = "孔明"
    elif word == "关公" or word == "云长":
        rword = "关羽"
    elif word == "玄德" or word == "玄德曰":
        rword = "刘备"
    elif word == "孟德" or word == "丞相":
        rword = "曹操"
    else:
        rword = word
    counts[rword] = counts.get(rword,0) + 1
for word in excludes:
    del counts[word]
items = list(counts.items())
items.sort(key=lambda x:x[1], reverse=True) 
for i in range(10):
    word, count = items[i]
    print ("{0:<10}{1:>5}".format(word, count))

第二个办法，将原来的txt文件另存为，在保存时将编码由ANSI改为UTF-8。

这样就可以解决遇到的问题了

希望对大噶有帮助
