[Python] 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 214-215: character maps to...

i am trying to translate a text english from turkish using googletrans library and simply print it. But sometimes i get this error. I couldn't solve it.

code is:

lin = translator.translate(line, dest="tr", src="en")
print(lin)


exact error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "location", line 138, in <module>
googletrans()
File "location", line 135, in googletrans
print(line)
File "location", line 19, in encode
return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 214-215: character maps to <undefined>


note to moderators: There is another question like this but it is for open("file","w") command and it is from 2013 it doesnt work.

i simply wanted to print a string to terminal. I can't even see what it can't print. Is there a way to do that also?

edit: it looks like translate outputs some zero width space. word is this: \u200b\u200bbağımlılığını. repr(line) can print it but regular print still can't

edit2: simply using print(line.replace("\u200b", "")) works but i still have no idea why translate adds randomly zero width character. My eng string looks like doesnt have any zero width space.
