Codec encoding error when printing formatted

[beedlitzer]

Configuration wizzard ran fine. Selecting the #1 Rotorhazard manager from the man menu of ota.sh gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/RH-ota/start_ota.py", line 33, in
main()

print(welcome_text)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character '\U0001f44d' in position 969: ordinal not in range(256)

I was able to get by this by changing line 377 in rpi_update.py to

print(welcome_text.encode('utf-8')) - but this negates the nice formatting

This also happens in other places

port forwarding added - server available on default port 80
no need to type server port number in a browser address bar
just type RotorHazard server IP address (probably: 10.0.0.54)
