On Windows systems with certain locales (e.g. Chinese edition), file content or console input can contain surrogate characters that cause UnicodeEncodeError when httpx tries to JSON-encode the outgoing LLM request. Add sanitize_for_utf8() that recursively walks the message structure and replaces surrogates with the Unicode replacement character before passing messages to litellm.completion(). Fixes Aider-AI#3460

Summary
Fixes #3460 — On Windows with certain locales (e.g. Chinese edition), file content or console input can contain surrogate characters (
\udcb0) that causeUnicodeEncodeErrorwhen httpx tries to JSON-encode the outgoing request to the LLM provider.Adds
sanitize_for_utf8()that recursively walks the message structure and replaces any surrogates with the Unicode replacement character, applied insend_completion()right before messages are passed tolitellm.completion().Test plan
