Other characters get converted to null bytes. Regardless when we promote it, people use `chcp 65001` in cmd and `[Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8` in Power Shell. In such situation, UTF-8 is the best encoding for pipes and redirected files. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42707> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
