Note that using a virtual environment does not require activation. A
script can be deployed to run in a virtual environment by referring to
the environment's executable in a shebang line, e.g.:
#!path\to\venv\Scripts\python.exe
Or with a Windows shell link that runs
path\to\venv\Scripts\python.exe path\to\script.py
Setting PYTHONUTF8 in the activate script does nothing to educate
users about the default encoding in other contexts. The REPL shell
could print a short message at startup that informs the user that
Python is using UTF-8 mode, including a link to a web page that
explains this in more detail.
