i have an issue i would like your help with. i am working on a file monitor script to send hit files to a telegram bot. the files in my system are named like this

lordofthepings.xyz_8080_🅺🅰️🅼🅱️🅾️_Q‌n‌t‌m‌F‌s‌p‌

but when i send them from python they come through like this

lordofthepings.xyz_8080_ _QntmFsp
(Notice the special characters missing)

i have been round and round with encoding, i have also been doing the rounds with all the ai i can find to see if they can fix the issue but no luck. Its not really a problem, its just annoying as the script works great apart from this one little thing. maybe its just the way it is and i will have to remove these type of characters.

This is the part of the code where I think the problem lies.

def send_document(file_path, filename):

    try:

        if is_windows:

            with open(file_path, 'rb') as document:

                bot.send_document(chat_id, document, caption=filename)

        else:

            url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{bot_token}/sendDocument"

            with open(file_path, 'rb') as document:

                files = {'document': document}

                data = {'chat_id': chat_id, 'caption': filename}

                response = requests.post(url, files=files, data=data)

                if response.status_code != 200:

                    raise Exception(f"Error: {response.text}")

        print(f"Sent {filename} successfully!")

    except Exception as e:

        print(f"Error sending {filename}: {e}")
