title: utf-8 error when opening csv file in pandas on mac
body: <p>I am trying to open a csv file with Japanese characters using utf8 on my mac.</p>
  
  <p>The code that I am using is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>foo = pd.read_csv("filename.csv", encoding = 'utf8')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I have been getting the following error message.</p>
  
  <pre><code>'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x96 in position 0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried looking around but a lot of the solutions seem to be for windows/I haven't had any success with other solutions yet.</p>
  
  <p>Appreciate the help!</p>
