UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0xac in position 27: illegal multibyte sequence

This error typically occurs when trying to decode a byte string using the gbk codec, but the byte string contains a character that is not valid in the gbk encoding. The byte at position 27 contains the value 0xac, which is an invalid byte in gbk.

To fix this error, you can try decoding the byte string using a different codec that supports the character encoding used in the byte string. For example, you can try using the UTF-8 codec by calling the decode method with the "utf-8" argument:

byte_string = b'\x41\x42\xac\x43\x44'
decoded_string = byte_string.decode('utf-8')

Alternatively, you can try opening the file with the correct encoding when reading the data:

with open('myfile.txt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    data = f.read()
