Store chinese character in string

I had getting such an error: 

1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe5' in file filename.py on line 13, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

Fortunately, I found a solution

1
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Just have to add this line to the top of filename.py
