Description
Sometimes went not filtering the log by package name I run into this error:
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "./pidcat.py", line 305, in
> print(linebuf)
> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 117-118: ordinal not in range(128)

Research direction
Start in pidcat.py at line 305, where the traceback shows print(linebuf) failing, and reproduce the problem with log output containing non-ASCII characters. Done means the script can process and display such log entries without raising UnicodeEncodeError, including when filtering is not used.
