Hi Radha,

Greetings to you!

The Blob type only supports UTF-8 encoded strings, you must ensure that the file you're uploading complies with this encoding, otherwise, you will get this error in cases where you have special characters.
To ensure your file is UTF-8, for example in Windows Notepad make sure that you select to save as Unicode UTF-8 in the Save As dialog, other applications will likely have a similar option.
