Hello < inigohrey> The code that does this is here https github com kedro org kedro blob main kedro config common py L121 L122 Unfortunately it seems that we re already using UTF 8 though so I m not sure whether changing this would solve your problem

Although now I see it s doing `utf8` and not `utf 8` as we do elsewhere maybe that s not actually working right

My quick test suggests that `utf8` is fine so I don t think that can be the problem here

Thank you I will look around there and try to pinpoint where the issue is cropping up Will report back when I figure it out

Issue probably caused by the fact that I m running kedro 0 17 1 and that method in my installation seems to delegate opening the file to anyconf Looking at the code it should be solved in `latest` as reading the file using `utf8` is working fine Thanks for your help < antony milne>
