Operating system:Win 10  
Slicer version:5.0.3  
Expected behavior:Extract features with parameters file  
Actual behavior:UnicodeDecodeError

Hello everyone,  
I want to use Radiomics module to extracrt features. I want to set resegmentRange:[-1000,1000] and binCount: 64, so I wrote this Parameters file. However, I uploaded the file in the Radiomics module and clicked ‘Apply’, it showed UnicodeDecodeError.

The following figures showed the Parameters file and the screenshot of the Radiomics module.

Did I write something incorrect in the Parameters file? How could I fix it? If the Parameter file is correct, how could I solve this problem?  
Many thanks in advance!!

Try using only ascii in the parameters file. It looks like these quotes aren’t compatible.
