Description
When converting a session file that contains special Unicode characters (like ⚙), the tool fails with a UnicodeEncodeError on Windows.
Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File "...\claude_code_transcripts\__init__.py", line 897, in generate_html
(output_dir / f"page-{page_num:03d}.html").write_text(page_content)
File "...\Lib\pathlib.py", line 1048, in write_text
return f.write(data)
File "...\Lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 19, in encode
return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2699' in position 15742: character maps to <undefined>
Cause
The write_text() call on line 897 doesn't specify an encoding, so it defaults to the system encoding (cp1252 on Windows), which cannot handle Unicode characters like \u2699 (⚙ gear symbol).
Suggested Fix
Explicitly specify UTF-8 encoding when writing HTML files:
(output_dir / f"page-{page_num:03d}.html").write_text(page_content, encoding="utf-8")This should be applied to all write_text() calls in the codebase.
Environment
- OS: Windows 10/11
- Python: 3.12.8
- claude-code-transcripts: 0.3
