UnicodeEncodeError error in python codes

Hi! I am completely new with arch, but I am enjoying it so far, however I have a strange error in my python codes, which might completely be unrelated to arch, but it does not happen on my other linux machines (mostly Ubuntu).

I am Hungarian, and have a lot of strange characters like áéűúőóüö etc. Now these characters appear a lot in my python code. I use PyCharm as an editor, and on my Ubuntu machines these characters are treated/displayed perfectly.

On my arch machine however I get errors like:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xfa' in position 5: ordinal not in range(128)

I know I can use .encode() to avoid this error, however that renders the string like this:

b'[["V\xc3\xb6lgyid\xc5\x91s jegy",2900,53],["Cs\xc3\xbacsid\xc5\x91s jegy",3500,11],["Cs\xc3\xbacsid\xc5\x91s jegy",3500,11]]'

which is more or less unreadable.

If this is related to arch, how can I fix this?

If it is unrelated, I am sorry for being and idiot...
