I need UTF-8 because I need to experiment with some OS function calls
that
give me UTF-16 and I need to emit UTF-16 or UTF-8.

Try setting the code page to 65001, and emit the UTF-8 explicitly.
Hmm... apparently that's not allowed on Windows XP:
C:\> chcp 65001
Active code page: 65001
C:\> python -c "for i in range(0x410, 0x430): print
unichr(i).encode('utf-8')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
This works though:
C:\> python -c "for i in range(0x410, 0x430): print
unichr(i).encode('utf-8')" > x
C:\> type x
[a bunch of Cyrillic letters]
Hmm... "more x" doesn't work, while "copy x con" works but gives an error.
Looks like Windows XP support UTF-8 console output is a bit half-assed.
It is odd, though, that when the code page (and font) are correct,
redirecting to a file and typing it work, but printing the result to the
console does not
