title: Pandas: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: invalid continuation byte
body: <p>community. I want to open a CSV using pandas and perform analysis on it. Please, help as I am not able to open the CSV itself. I tried opening it with UTF-8, Latin-1, and ISO-8859-1 encoding. It didn't work. 
  CODE:</p>
  
  <pre><code>csv_file3='COVID-19-geographic-disbtribution-worldwide.csv'
  with open(csv_file3,'rt')as f:
      data = csv.reader(f)
      j=0
      for row in data:
           j+=1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>ERROR:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "analysisofcases.py", line 87, in &lt;module&gt;
      for row in data:
    File "/usr/lib/python3.6/codecs.py", line 321, in decode
      (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode bytes in position 15-16: invalid continuation byte
  </code></pre>
