I'm trying to take photos with OpenCV on my Raspberry Pi, but I'm running into an encoding error "UnicodeEncodeError". The specific error indicates that the character '\udce1' cannot be represented with UTF-8 encoding.
Additional details:Error that pops up:
%Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
PROBLEM IN THONNY'S BACK-END: Exception while handling 'Run' (UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udce1' in position 29: surrogates not allowed).

Additional details:
- I have installed OpenCV successfully.
I can take photos with the `libcamera-still` command.
The error appears when running my Python code to take a photo with OpenCV.

I have reviewed my code carefully and find no unusual characters.
