Thank you very much for your reply!  
I use InVEST model in China. It may be that the Unicode programming language of my computer is Chinese, so this error appears. Now, I checked the “Global language support with Unicode UTF-8” option, and the problem is solved.  
This question may help researchers using the InVEST model in China.  
Thanks,
