UnicodeDecodeError gbk codec cant decode byte 0x8e in position 8 illegal multibyte sequence

This error occurs when the 'gbk' codec is unable to decode a certain byte in a string because it is an illegal multibyte sequence. This means that the byte is not recognized or supported by the 'gbk' codec.

To resolve this error, you can try to decode the string using a different codec that supports the byte in question. Alternatively, you can try to remove the byte from the string or replace it with a supported character.
