title: Importing csv using pd.read_csv - invalid start byte error
body: <p>I'm trying to import a csv file using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>data = pd.read_csv("filename.csv")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error: <code>"UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 2: invalid start byte".</code></p>
  
  <p>The answer in this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12468179/unicodedecodeerror-utf8-codec-cant-decode-byte-0x9c">UnicodeDecodeError: &#39;utf8&#39; codec can&#39;t decode byte 0x9c</a>
  might work, but I am not sure how to implement it (I can't comment on the answer because I don't have enough reputation yet).</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: The issue seems to be linked to the fact that I have a degree symbol. It would be fine for me if during import this issue is just skipped.</p>
