The UTF-8 has the same effect than locale coercion:

``sys.getfilesystemencoding()`` returns ``'UTF-8'``,

``locale.getpreferredencoding()`` returns ``UTF-8``, ``sys.stdin`` and
150 +
``sys.stdout`` error handler set to ``surrogateescape``. These changes

only affect Python code. But the locale coercion has addiditonal

effects: the ``LC_CTYPE`` environment variable and the ``LC_CTYPE``
