Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
cp65001 fails in many ways quite independent of Python.
Idle:
>>> "ሴé€㑖Ѓ⌴*"
'ሴé€㑖Ѓ⌴*'
Pasting the same string into Command Prompt (Win 7, USA, updated):
C:\Users\Terry>echo "?‚????*"
"?‚????*"
C:\Users\Terry>chcp 65001
Active code page: 65001
C:\Users\Terry>echo "*"
The system cannot write to the specified device.

help('xyz') treats string instances specially. Try 'topics' or 'LISTS'.
I opened #19980 for improving the 'not found' message.
