UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character - Python Report CSS

I know this kind of question has been asked before but nothing worked for me.

I'm trying to generate some PDF report using weasyprint. Here is my code;

htmlContent = py_str["htmlContent"]

HTML(string=htmlContent).write_pdf(target=response,
        stylesheets=[CSS(string=getCSS())])

but it doesn't generate any PDF. On debugging I found out that issue is in this getCSS() function that returns css string. By print this funtion on console, I'm getting this error

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\x91' in position 5042: character maps to <undefined>

this is CSS that I've from line number 5040 to 5042

.nav-pills > li {
   float: left;
 }

All solutions that I found out are related to utf-8 but I could not understand where to use this utf-8 in my code. I'm totally stuck here.

Any kind of help will be appreciated. I can add full css if needed.

UPDATE

I've tried using encoding("utf-8") in these ways;

HTML(string=htmlContent).write_pdf(target=response,
    stylesheets=[CSS(string=getCSS().encode("utf-8"))])

and then this one too

 HTML(string=htmlContent, encoding="utf-8").write_pdf(target=response,
    stylesheets=[CSS(string=getCSS())])

But no luck...

Anyone who is facing this issue and nothing worked for you like me.. try disabling your extensions/ add-Ons of browsers. In my case, I've to uninstall IDM and my issue is gone. Now I need to find why it is not working with IDM. But for time being, my issue is resolved.
