I seem to be getting the same behavior as Steven: $ python2.7 -c "print u'ñøλπйж'" ñøλÏйж $ python2.7 -c "import sys; print(sys.stdout.encoding)" UTF-8 $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= $ python2.7 -c "import sys; print(sys.stdin.encoding)" UTF-8 Also, my GNOME Terminal 3.4.1.1 character encoding is "Unicode (UTF-8)".
