PEP: 686
Title: Make UTF-8 mode default
Author: Inada Naoki <songofacandy@gmail.com>

Status: Draft
Type: Standards Track
Content-Type: text/x-rst

Abstract
========
This PEP proposes making UTF-8 mode [1]_ on by default.
This PEP proposes making :pep:`UTF-8 mode <540>` on by default.
With this change, Python uses UTF-8 for default encoding of files, stdio, and
pipes consistently.
@ -86,19 +88,21 @@ To resolve this backward incompatibility, users can do:
* Disable UTF-8 mode
* Use ``EncodingWarning`` to find where the default encoding is used and use
``encoding="locale"`` option to keep using locale encoding. [2]_
``encoding="locale"`` option to keep using locale encoding
(as defined in :pep:`597`).
Preceding examples
==================
* Ruby changed the default ``external_encoding`` to UTF-8 on Windows in Ruby
3.0 (2020). [3]_
* Java changed the default text encoding to UTF-8 in JDK 18. (2022). [4]_
* Ruby `changed <Feature #16604_>`__ the default ``external_encoding``
to UTF-8 on Windows in Ruby 3.0 (2020).
* Java `changed <JEP 400_>`__ the default text encoding
to UTF-8 in JDK 18. (2022).
Both Ruby and Java have an option for backward compatibility.
They don't provide any warning like ``EncodingWarning`` [2]_ in Python for use
of the default encoding.

So forcing users to specify the ``encoding`` option everywhere is too painful.
