I have implemented a simple table using library tabulate, am now attempting to print this table that has table format fancy_grid using fpdf but am getting the following error, how can I add this table to the pdf??

Error

  File "E:DevelopementDesktop ApplicationsGuiWithWxvenvlibsite-packagesfpdffpdf.py", line 1170, in _putpages
    p = self.pages[n].encode("latin1") if PY3K else self.pages[n] 
UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 388-425: ordinal not in range(256)
