Dotenv syntax warning on fresh install

[enzedonline]

Hi,
Just followed through the installation instructions, installed into venv environment.
I get a warning message:

C:\Django\wagtail-bakery-project\.venv\lib\site-packages\dotenv.py:104: SyntaxWarning: Line 'ÿþD\x00J\x00A\x00N\x00G\x00O\x00_\x00S\x00E\x00T\x00T\x00I\x00N\x00G\x00S\x00_\x00M\x00O\x00D\x00U\x00L\x00E\x00=\x00b\x00a\x00k\x00e\x00r\x00y\x00d\x00e\x00m\x00o\x00.\x00s\x00e\x00t\x00t\x00i\x00n\x00g\x00s\x00.\x00l\x00o\x00c\x00a\x00l\x00' doesn't match format

Win10 environment.

Hi @enzedonline ,
I encounter the same warning here in Win10.

In my case, the .env file encoding is utf-16. after I change the .env file encoding to the utf-8. the problem is solved.

@nRookie - thanks. Tried that with the same issue but then just created a new .env file and works fine now. Cheers.
