Flask UnicodeDecodeError

Error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf0 in position 24: ordinal not in range(128)

So basically I have a Flask app where users fill a sign up form and it renders a new page.

Here's the code:

render_template('signUpSuccess.html', password="You should know, right? πŸ˜›")

It's not a serious project just a practice app I'm creating since I'm learning Python. I'm positive it's because of the emoji. I've tried other SO questions but just can't figure it out. I know the emoji is not necessary but It'd be nice to know how I can fix this in the future.

You should decode that string. Try this:

the_password = "You should know, right? πŸ˜›"
the_password = the_password.decode('utf-8')

render_template('signUpSuccess.html', password=the_password)

Try passing a unicode object, not a str into render_template(), like so:

render_template('signUpSuccess.html', password=u"You should know, right? πŸ˜›")

Sample program:

# coding: utf-8
from flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def root():
    return render_template('signUpSuccess.html', password=u"You should know, right? πŸ˜›")

if __name__=="__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

template:

<html>password: {{ password }}</html>
