[New-bugs-announce] [issue36609] activate.ps1 in venv for Windows should encoded with BOM

[정한솔]

New submission from 정한솔 <hansol.fc at gmail.com>:

"activate.ps1" (venv) is currently encoded as UTF8 without BOM. But this cause an error if path of an environment contains non-ASCII characters. It seems Powershell can't recognize UTF8 without BOM. If I changed encoding of activate.ps1 to UTF8-BOM, it works well.

So I think activate.ps1 should be encoded as UTF8-BOM.
