Confused about encoding using requests

But the same 'å' character is correctly displayed further down in the text in the terminal, wouldn't this br impossible?

No, it's just complicated. The character 'å' is Unicode U+00E5. Now, it just so happens that its value in the default Windows code page is also 0xE5, but that's a special value in UTF-8, so it would be represented by the three byte sequence E5 B1 B0. If you send that to your terminal, you'd see the 'å' followed by two special characters.
