runtime error in sqlalchemy-utils.databse_exists with PostgreSQL 17

[fllsilva]

When using the sqlachemy-utils.database_exists() function with PostgreSQL (I'm using version 17), when the database does not exist, the following error occurs:

   UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe3 in position 93: invalid continuation byte

The error occurs on line 488 of the "database.py" module:

    return bool(_get_scalar_result(engine, sa.text(text)))

And the solution for this error is to add the following exception in line 489:

    except (ProgrammingError, OperationalError, UnicodeDecodeError):

Could someone please update the fix in the repository?

Thanks.
