[New-bugs-announce] [issue21164] print unicode in Windows console

[Leslie Klein]

New submission from Leslie Klein:

The console behaves by encoding a str (using the sys.getdefaultencoding()) and then decodes the bytes to a glyph for rendering. The decoder used is 'cp437'. Apparently, there is no way to override that!

See ipython notebook for summary and example of the issue.
