Adding to what @elextr mentioned, the default encoding (for new files) is
actually set in Preferences > Files.

@Independent-X what is your locale, and what does the `encoding:` in the status
bar show?
To be clear, files are saved with the encoding set in the save dialog (which
defaults to what is in the status bar). Users can set what encoding they want
a file saved in, and Geany does what it is told,
Follow these steps can reproduce the error:
1.Create a new main.py.
2.Delete all the code in it.
3.Write this:
> #!/usr/bin/env python
> # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
> print("あ")
4.Save it.
5.Try running it.
Here is the result:
> File "test.py", line 3
> print("��")
> ^
> SyntaxError:
The posted error message rather indicates a problem with your Python code.
Without the file in question, it's hard to help.

Saves as UTF-8 here and Python happily accepts non-ASCII characters.

When I create a new main.py with Geany and save it, it is always saved in ANSI
format instead of UTF-8 format.
It always causes an error when I try to test my program if I add any character
which isn't an English character to it:
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte
