+* In general, Django assumes that ``UTF-8`` encoding is used for I/O. This may
+ cause problems if your system is set to use a different encoding. Recent
+ versions of Python allow setting the :envvar:`PYTHONUTF8` environment
+ variable in order to force a ``UTF-8`` encoding. Windows 10 also provides a
+ system-wide setting by checking ``Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language
+ support`` in :menuselection:`Language --> Administrative Language Settings
+ --> Change system locale` in system settings.
