Unicode Encode Error

[MHee]

I got encoding errors when importing my highlights:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u0101' in position 42: character maps to <undefined>

Adding UTF-8 encoding to lines 286 and 290 in functions.py solved the problem for me:

    if md_filepath.is_file():
        with md_filepath.open("a", encoding='utf-8') as md_file:
            md_file.write(text_existing_file)

    else:
        md_filepath.write_text(text_new_file, encoding='utf-8')

Thanks for the suggestions, I've just published a new version including them. Please let me know if the new version works for you.
