Solution

The error message you're seeing is related to character encoding. It seems like Python is trying to read the file using the default 'ascii' codec, which can't handle some special characters.

The solution here would be to specify a different encoding that can handle more characters. The 'utf-8' codec is a good choice for this, as it can handle any character in the Unicode standard.

So, the correct answer would be:

pd.read_csv(“temp.csv”, encoding=’utf-8′)
