The check-windows-footguns.py script outputs a checkmark (U+2713) and cross (U+2717) to report results. Windows terminals default to cp1252, which cannot encode these characters, so running the script on Windows threw a UnicodeEncodeError before any results were printed. This made the tool completely unusable on the exact platform it exists to help -- a developer on Windows trying to check their code for Windows-safety issues would just get a crash instead. Fix: reconfigure stdout and stderr to UTF-8 at the start of main(), before any output is produced. Verified on Windows 11 Home with Python 3.13 (terminal defaulting to cp1252).

What

Why it matters
