I want to show some nicely formatted source code, e.g.:

er ist ein bisschen ein ötto geworden

My document:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,ngerman]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=2.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}
Ünnormal diggi hä
\lstinputlisting[language = python]{testinclude.txt}
\end{document}

The text outside the listing works, but the txt file produces the error Package utf8x Error: Character182appearedalone.

How do I show code that contains special characters?

Like this thread suggested, I tried escaping the ö or setting a literate to \''o, but both times I only got this in utf8 and utf8x:

try with utf8 instead of utf8x. If you still get errors you should show the content of the file you are trying to include. – Ulrike Fischer Nov 21 '19 at 21:02
@UlrikeFischer with utf8, I get Package inputenc Error: Invalid UTF-8 byte "B6. I edited the question to show the input file. – Jan Berndt Nov 21 '19 at 21:05

You need to make sure that both files, your .tex file and the file that you want to include, are in UTF-8 encoding. – Jasper Habicht Nov 21 '19 at 21:26
@Jasper VS code shows both are in UTF-8 Encoding. – Jan Berndt Nov 21 '19 at 21:28
The correct way to escape ö is not \''o but \"o. – Jasper Habicht Nov 22 '19 at 09:30
