[New-bugs-announce] [issue19625] IDLE should use UTF-8 as it's default encoding

[irdb]

New submission from irdb:

>>> s = 'ی'
Unsupported characters in input

I'm using windows 8 and Python 2.7.6.

The same line works perfectly if I save it in a module with encoding set to UTF-8; but it's really annoying that I can't test my code directly in IDLE.
