[FIXED] Can't load csv file through pandas in ubuntu

Issue

I am trying to load a .csv file lying on my desktop using pandas on jupyter notebook and getting the following error:

What's the problem with the code? The same method works on windows. (I'm using ubuntu 16.04 LTS)

Solution

Try passing encoding='utf-8' argument in your read_csv function, like this:

data = pd.read_csv('file_name.csv', encoding='utf-8')

Hope this helps.
