Most likely some of the files in the epub are encoded as Windows-1252 files instead of UTF-8 files (in Windows-1252 encoded files, 0xe9 is the French character é).

Try the following:

1. Locate the Sigil plugin folder, by selecting Edit > Preferences > Open Preferences Location.
2. In the EpubCheck plugin folder, open plugin.py with a text editor.
3. Change the following lines (507 & 508):

Code:

    stdout = result[0].decode(os_encoding)
    stderr = result[1].decode(os_encoding)

to:

Code:

    stdout = result[0].decode(os_encoding, "ignore")
    stderr = result[1].decode(os_encoding, "ignore")

This change should allow you to run the plugin.
