If you get a unicode decode error then next you need to [try to determine what the character encoding is, use below code :

import chardet     
with open(file, 'rb') as rawdata:
    result = chardet.detect(rawdata.read(100000))
result

Now you can manually define the encoding in pd.read_csv(),if unicode decode error is ISO-8859-1
