If you encode as iso-8859-15, but this is not what your terminal
expects, it certainly won't print correctly. To get correct printing,
the output encoding must be the same as the terminal encoding. If the
terminal encoding is not up to date (as you consider cp1252), then
the output encoding should not be up to date, either.
If you want a modern encoding that supports all of Unicode, and you
don't care whether the output is legible, use UTF-8.
