UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u274c' in position 1636: character maps to <undefined>

What: I use a few emojis in my code, green check, red cross...etc. '\u274c' is literally the Unicode for ❌

Error:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u274c' in position 1636: character maps to <undefined>

Expect: I am expecting the minifier to be able to handle Unicode like this without error.

Versioning: python_minifier-2.11.2 Python 3.12.7

Unfortunately, Python on Windows is broken by default. See #57.

Could you set the environment variable PYTHONUTF8=1 and see if it works?
