UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x82 in position 16: invalid start byte

This error occurs when a program tries to decode a sequence of bytes into a string using the "utf-8" codec, but encounters a byte that is not a valid start byte for a utf-8 character.

The byte in question, 0x82, is not a valid start byte for a utf-8 character, so the decoding process fails. This can happen if the input data is not encoded in utf-8, or if there are errors in the encoding of the data.

To fix this error, you may need to check the encoding of the input data and ensure that it is utf-8. If the data is not encoded in utf-8, you may need to use a different codec to decode the data.

You can also try using the "errors" parameter when decoding the data, which allows you to specify how decoding errors should be handled. For example, you can specify "ignore" to ignore errors, or "replace" to replace invalid characters with a replacement character.
