>> PS > [System.Console]::OutputEncoding = $OutputEncoding

Yes, both are unrelated to this specific issue. But both are highly recommended for using Python with UTF-8 mode.

Now many people want to use Python with UTF-8 mode in PowerShell in Windows Terminal. And they don't want to care about legacy encoding at all.
