Research direction
The issue gives only a UnicodeEncodeError and no file, entry point, or input fixture. Start by reproducing the error in MarkItDown's document-to-Markdown conversion path and trace where GBK encoding is selected; done means the reported character no longer raises the exception and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
