Your file contains Unicode characters.  You are trying to load it when your
encoding is set to cp1252, which does not support the Unicode character(s)
in your file.

You need to be using the Unicode version of wxPython, if you're not already,
and change your system encoding to match the encoding in your text file or
change the encoding of the string you're loading.

Welcome to the larger world of dealing with languages other than English.
