Resetting the console, either by ANSI escape sequences or by the reset utility,

variable (default_utf8) which defines system-wide UTF-8 setting is created.
This variable can be adjusted via sysfs.

If you're going to introduce a system-wide default, instead of issuing the appropriate escape code, then I would argue it should still be forced (to the default) when issuing a console reset.
