title: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' exporting csv in pandas python 2.7
body: <p>I've created a pandas DataFrame in python 2.7</p>
  
  <p>When I try to export it as csv with the function </p>
  
  <pre><code>outcome.to_csv("/Users/john/out_1.csv")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in position 191: ordinal not in range(128)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can export it? and If I can't how do I go to position 191 and remove that character?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>The dataframe looks like:</p>
