title: Pandas fail to read excel
body: <p>I'm trying to read an Excel file using Pandas by:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dataSet = pd.read_excel(xlsPath, encoding = 'utf-8')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but got this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\xa4' in position 15353: character maps to &lt;undefined&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I there any way I can fix that?</p>
