Description:	When UTF-8 feature is enabled in Windows, the console reports code page 65001. This is an official code page value with constant CP_UTF8, but this code page is not recognised by Tcl. Tcl tries to initialize encoding cp65001, but this fails, so iso8859-1 is used instead. Easiest fix is to initialize the encoding to utf-8 instead of cp65001.
User Comments:	jan.nijtmans added on 2020-01-13 14:50:53: Thanks for the report and the patch! Looks fully reasonable. Applied now to core-8-6-branch and up.
