[issue9126] errors='replace' does not work at Windows command line

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

The characters are fine when you read them (that is, they decode correctly to unicode).  They are only invalid when you write them to the windows terminal, which can't handle all the valid characters that are in the file.  The Idle output window uses a more capable character set, and can display those characters.
