You change the meaning of sys.stdout without flushing the previous 
instance.  So of course buffering can mess you up.  If you want to 
change the encoding, do it at the beginning of the script.

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, io
sys.stdout = io.TextIOWrapper(sys.stdout.buffer, encoding="utf-8")
print("Content-type:text/plain;charset=f-8\n\n")
print("晉")


(You probably could use sys.stdout.flush() before reassigning, but doing 
it at the beginning is better for several reasons.)
