Dear all,
I encountered an interesting bug, so I report this.
When I tried to predict the IR spectrum, all DFT calculations, including B3LYP and wB97X-D, failed. Error message: UnicodeDecodeError: ‘cp932’ codec can’t decode byte 0x93 in position 7680: illegal multibyte sequence. As far as I know, all Windows machines in the Japanese language are suffered from this situation. The other calculation like optimization doesn’t have any problems. Only vibrational calculation doesn’t go well.
I hope someone will revise it or show how to deal with it for Japanese learners.
