What version of python are you using and also edit your post with your pip freeze output, maybe the problem is a library, but you need to check if you have any special char in your code like á, ë, ñ etc — Juanmi Gabarron

I did't use any special char in my code for sure, and I update pip freeze output above. — Kuang 鄺世銘

I find it very specious that the character in question is the "end paragraph mark" ¶. I'm mostly a Linux guy, but there is something about windows and that character I have seen before... — xeor

Perhaps paste the entire error log when u run python manage.py runserver — Mayur Buragohain

The most probable thing is that you have a char in your username that is not ascii. This is a known issue: https://bugs.python.org/issue9377 Dont know why it is taking so long to fix :D
