pycharm: byte literal contains characters > 255

I found this inspection in Pycharm: "byte literal contains characters > 255". I tried to google it, but found nothing.

What does it mean? Why is it not OK to use such characters?

You're using a character that falls outside the normal ASCII range of ordinals 0 -> 255.

Put the following 2 lines at the top of your python files:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

and the error should go away.

If not, email their support, or go to their forums.
