Running Python scripts in Windows console that may produce Unicode output is a worth-mentioning use-case [1] (as you might know) i.e., if you run: T:\> py print_unicode.py and get the error: UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '...' then a workaround that works out of the box is to run: T:\> py -m idlelib -r print_unicode.py that can display Unicode (BMP) output in IDLE.
