Visual Studio Code – vs code encoding conflict between Output and matplotlib for french accents

when I prefix my .py file using utf-8 or Latin-1 I always get bad charcacters in OUTPUT or in matplotlib figure text.

In:

`# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-`
print('à')

Out:

�

matplotlib text with utf-8 encoding right display >
matplotlib text with utf-8 encoding right display

In:

`# -*- coding: Latin-1 -*-`
print('à')

Out:

à

matplotlib text with Latin-1 wrong display >
matplotlib text with Latin-1 wrong display

I tried different encodings but I never get proper outputs

    Thank you JosefZ.

    I adopt UTF-8 everywhere.

    print('xc3xa0') fixed the issue.

    print('à'.encode('utf-8')) to find the code.

    I you have better solution configuring matplotlib avoiding to use codes, I'll take it.

    In vs code, I’ve checked Preferences > Settings > code runner : Run in Terminal so I no longer need to use the utf-8 code substitute in the plain text, I can now write "à" or any accentuated letter directly so OUTPUT and matplotlib are OK.
