This will solve UnicodeDecodeError :
df.read_csv('file_name.csv', engine='python')
The pd.read_csv documentation notes specific differences between 'c' (default) and 'python' engines. The names indicate the language in which the parsers are written.
Files store bytes, which means all unicode have to be encoded into bytes before they can be stored in a file. The pandas read_csv() takes an encoding option to deal with files in different formats. So, you can specify an encoding, such as utf-8.
df.r
