Using a special character in an automation script throws an error

e.g. consider this script
a = "Jean-François"
print(a)

In automation script app when I click on Execute Script it gives the following. 

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character in file '<iostream>', but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

I believe it is happening because of this ç in the source code.

Is there any way to fix this issue?

Hi @Rana Ahmed

Try this: 

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
a = "Jean-François"
print(a)

Hi! 

If you can, send me more information:
Is it an object script? of attribute? any condition? If you give me more information, I can reproduce it to help you find the solution you are looking for.

Regards!
