@Logan M I think it might be ASCII actually (I could be mistaken). It looks like this is the
save_to_string method:
def save_to_string(self, **save_kwargs: Any) -> str:
"""Save to string.
This method stores the index into a JSON string.
NOTE: save_to_string should not be used for indices composed on top
of other indices. Please define a `ComposableGraph` and use
`save_to_string` and `load_from_string` on that instead.
Returns:
str: The JSON string of the index.
"""
out_dict = self.save_to_dict(**save_kwargs)
return json.dumps(out_dict, **save_kwargs)json.dumps forces
ascii by default unless you specify
ensure_ascii=False. I'm just doing
index.save_to_string(ensure_ascii=False).encode("utf-8") now in case 😄
