How to fix encoding problem (UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters..) in tg bot?

Question

Python

Bot that creates qrcode. If you send him text with a space between words in Russian, he will give an error (UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters..). What to do?

def qrcodegen(message):
    def is_allowed(string):
        characherRegex = re.compile(
            r'[^\*\@\#\$\%\^\!\"\№\;\:\?\(\)\_\ \-\+\=\&\]\[\{\}\/\'\,a-zA-Zа-яА-Я0-9.]')
        string = characherRegex.search(string)
        return not bool(string)
    x = message.text
    if is_allowed(x):
        qr = pyqrcode.create(x)
        qr.png('your_qrcode.png', scale=8)
        qr = open('your_qrcode.png', 'rb')
        bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Your qrcode:", parse_mode='html')
        bot.send_photo(message.chat.id, qr)
    else:
        bot.send_message(
            message.chat.id, "Something went wrong", parse_mode='html')

Answer 1

qr = pyqrcode.create(x.encode('utf-8'))
And next time please provide the full text of the error. It's all there where the problem is. What the hell are you making guessing on the coffee grounds?
Do you think the interpreter just wrote all this "garbage" to you?
So they would have asked the question: I wrote a program - it doesn’t work, pmagiti!
