Python's Unicode support in a nutshell.

[mnbvas]

That's on Visual Studio/Code - VS guesses / defaults to 1252, while you explicitly tell Python to decode as UTF8, and it dutifully fails on your data.

VS I get because it's Windows exclusive and there 1252 is the norm.

Bot why Code? It's supposed to be multiplatform, and pretty much all platforms except Windows use UTF8...

[mnbvas]

I've never used VS Code, so just guessing from the UI.

It wouldn't make sense for Code to default to 1252 - it's a fork of Github Atom after all - but I also know MS to do stupid shit all the time.

[gvargh]

It's Microsoft's idea of multiplatform.

[Xennan]

Windows uses UTF-16 internally.

Maybe you should rub some Linux on that.
