UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xed in position xxxx: invalid continuation byte

When I run json.dumps(data) on my json directly it doesn't cause an error. But when ran through JSONata library, it's throwing the following error

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xed in position xxxx: invalid continuation byte

I don't know how to treat the json file before sending it to the library. Also these json files passes validators and even

• https://try.jsonata.org/ or https://www.stedi.com/

The same json data and jsonata expression passes in nodejs library
