Sorry for the late reply. I monitor our listserv/group
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/autokey-users
closely, but get here less frequently.
We need a better problem report to know how to proceed. A trace wouldn't hurt either.
Everyone needs to keep in mind that each computer and setup is somewhat unique. We really need to know about yours where the problem occurred. Also, since it worked "before" for you, what changed?
See:
https://github.com/autokey/autokey/wiki/Problem-Reporting-Guide
Initial comments:
- Since it appears to be character set related, please also provide your locale settings. Run
locale
in a terminal and post the results here.
- What happens if you terminate AutoKey and then run the following from a terminal:
LC_ALL=C LC_CTYPE=C autokey-gtk
or
LC_ALL=C LC_CTYPE=C autokey-qt
depending on which front end you have installed?
Character sets and collating sequences are still a rough patch in Linux. There are even bugs in some of the character sets themselves.

Same error message using Lubuntu 14.04 (64), and autokey-gtk 0.90.4-1 .
It appears to happen after failure to connect to dbus, due to a dbus problem - (dbus-daemon for the system bus is running under root, not messagebus, and dbus-daemon for the user's session has not created socket /tmp/dbus-* ). The result is a warning, but autokey continues and tries to parse some (random?) string, hence the non-UTF-8 character. This WARNING 'from dbus' is actually FATAL for autokey.
$ autokey-gtk -l

Don't have an answer for this one (or the resources to find one).
I would suggest (as I did to palloy on our support list) contacting the dbus folks to see if they can shed any light on the issue.
dbus users/developers ( [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dbus/)
Until we have an active development team, there's not much we can do for a very technical issue like this.
I hate to suggest it, but if you can't resolve this issue, you may want to check out this and see if you have any better luck.

dbus couldn't help either - they said everything was apparently OK their
end.
I'm using xbindkeys instead now.

Sorry to hear that, but good to know. Maybe the other branch of AutoKey will work better. (See the edit to my last post). At least they have an active developer.

I just installed AutoKey-Py3 and I can confirm that it doesn't have this problem.
