Error while committing due to a UnicodeEncodeError (RDT-756)

[YosstinCode]

Description

When attempting to commit changes to the repository, the commit fails due to a UnicodeEncodeError. The error occurs specifically when the conventional-precommit-linter hook is executed. The hook attempts to print a Unicode character (\u274c), causing the encoding error.

Hi @YosstinCode, thank you for reporting this issue. Let me try to fix the problem.

• Does this error appear with a specific commit message?
• Does this error appear in newer versions as well (the latest release is v1.7.0; you are using v1.3.0)?

Hi again, @YosstinCode,

I've ran a few tests and it appears the issue may be related to Unicode resolution (Windows).

Could you please test this version on your system, where complex Unicode characters have been replaced with simple text, and let me know if it resolves your problem?
