Error when downloading friends anki "Import failed. Debugging info: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 1: invalid start byte"

Hi,

when I try to download my friend’s anki, I get the following error message:

Import failed. Debugging info:

‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xb5 in position 1: invalid start byte

I can download other anki decks and I have been able to download her other ones in the past. My other classmate is able to download the decks where I am getting the error message.

Is the problem on my end or my friends?

Thank you in advance for the help!
