[Python] How to parse Word files with Hindi text in KrutiDev font using Python in json

I'm trying to parse Word files .docx that contain Hindi text written in the KrutiDev 010 font. When I process the text using Python and try to encode it into JSON, I get random gibberish instead of the expected Hindi text.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

1. 
   I used the ensure_ascii=False parameter in the json.dump() function to allow Unicode encoding, as Python's JSON encoder uses ASCII by default.
