🔒 Can't read a .txt file!

[modern sun]

I try to read a .txt file, but get this strange error ...

Code:

def output_words(input_data):
    with open('sendfile.txt', 'r') as f:
        return f.read()



if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(output_words("84f49b7ea92cc37031d87b3819126ae9deae251dae06c3f583dd15c2f198c066"))

Error:

return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f in position 1911885: character maps to <undefined>
