Can I force AWS CLI to use UTF encoding?
<p>I'm using AWS CLI on Windows to query items from DynamoDb.  Some of these items include non-ASCII characters.</p>

<p>When the query hits those items, it dies with an error</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>'charmap' codec can't encode character u'u010d' in position....</p>
</blockquote>

<p>After hours of searching, I finally stumbled across a hackish workaround; under the AWSCLI\encodings directory, I copied utf_8.pyc over cp1252.pyc.  This allows me to continue, but of course is ugly.</p>

<p>Before resorting to that, I also tried setting environment variables such as LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE to various permutations of en-US.UTF-8 or similar, all with no effect that I could see.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how (or is it even possible) to tell AWS CLI to use a particular encoding?  </p>
