Typically this happens if the game's data folder is installed to a path with a non ASCII character in it.
The way to fix that is to set a custom data directory to a path without that non ASCII character (C:\OOTP19 for instance).
It's also possible to get that error in some instances if the save is corrupt. In which case, restoring from the autosave is your best bet.
1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings (or Preferences in OOTP 11-14).
2) Now click on the tab "Troubleshooting".
3) Click "Open folder containing saved games".
4) Now open up the league folder you're wanting to restore.
5) Then select all of the .dat files in the folder and back them up (just in case) by copying them to a temporary folder or creating a zipped file with them
6) Open the folder called "auto-save".
7) In there, select all of the ".dat" files and copy them to the league folder (the parent of the current folder) overwriting all of the ".dat" files in the league folder.
8) Now start the game and load your league.
