Hey there,

I'm having trouble reproducing your issue.

in case you're still having this issue, please update this issue with information on which platform you're using and which terminal emulator you're using. Please also attach the output of the following two commands: $ hexdump -C textfile where textfile is the textfile causing this issue, as well as $ locale

Thank you for the effort.

Yeah the issue it's still there, as mentioned on issue #21 running lolcat -lallow to output the file anyway, but sometimes I get a random ERRNO 2 with output Error reading input file "textfile": Success at the end of the normal cat output

I'm still not sure what's causing your lolcat to choke on that UTF-8 multibyte sequence. I'm looking into that rn. The other issue you're describing, where lolcat outputs random error messages at the end of output is #35 and has been fixed in master.
