We get following error when runnig the sigrid ci on azure devops:

Adding the line "set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8" to the script tasks seems to resolve this issue.

@anoordover From the file paths I assume you're using a Windows-based runner in Azure DevOps, right?

We are indeed assuming UTF-8 encoding because we want to use emoji in the output. We made the assumption UTF-8 is the default encoding pretty much everywhere, but this shows we were wrong. We'll update the documentation accordingly to address this, thank you for reporting it. cc @MichielCuijpers
