SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb6 in position 0: invalid start byte

This error occurs when Python is unable to decode a byte string into Unicode using the UTF-8 codec. The byte string contains a byte (0xb6) that is not a valid start byte for UTF-8 encoding.
To fix this error, you can try the following:
1. Check if the file you are trying to read is encoded in UTF-8. If not, try opening it with the correct encoding.
2. If the file is encoded in UTF-8, check if it contains any non-UTF-8 characters. You can try opening the file in a different text editor or using a tool like chardet to detect the encoding.
3. If you are working with a string in your code, make sure it is encoded in UTF-8. You can use the .encode() method to convert it to UTF-8.
4. Try using a different codec to decode the byte string, such as 'latin-1' or 'iso-8859-1'.
Example:
```
# Trying to decode a byte string using UTF-8 codec
b_str = b'\xb6Hello'
s_str = b_str.decode('utf-8') # Raises the error
# Fix: Using a different codec
s_str = b_str.decode('latin-1')
print(s_str) # Prints '¶Hello'
```
