Research direction

Start at the RobotStackTracer listener's end_keyword entry point and reproduce the reported UnicodeEncodeError using the multibyte characters from the issue. Inspect the resulting log output and related test cases; done means the listener completes without logging an encoding error for those characters.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We have multibyte chars in our test cases like _平 ^~ŸÁ&.
In log files we have been seeing error-

Calling method 'end_keyword' of listener 'RobotStackTracer' failed: UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u5e73' in position 659: character maps to <undefined>

I don't see any major effect of this though, but since it is logged in our every run thought of reporting.
