[GIS] Importing LAS files in QGIS with LAStools gives an ‘ascii encode error’

asciilaslastoolslidarqgis

I'm new to QGIS environment and I am trying to load LAS files into QGIS with lasground but when I run the following process an error occurs:

'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0105' in position 68:
ordinal not in range(128) See log for more details

The LAS file must be correct because I can load and view it on ArcGIS program.

This is what the log says:

Any idea how to fix this problem? I'm using QGIS 2.14.

All directory names and all file names must be free of spaces and other special symbols and cannot be Unicode characters. Only good old ASCII file and directory names are supported by LAStools at the moment.
