Encoding
To display and edit files correctly, PyCharm needs to know which encoding to use. In general, source code files are mostly in UTF-8. This is the recommended encoding unless you have some other requirements.
To determine the encoding of a file, PyCharm uses the following steps:
If the byte order mark (BOM) is present, PyCharm will use the corresponding Unicode encoding regardless of all other settings. For more information, see Byte order mark.
If the file declares the encoding explicitly, PyCharm will use the specified encoding. For example, this can apply to XML or HTML files. The explicit declaration also overrides all other settings, but you can change it in the editor.
If there is no BOM and no explicit encoding declaration in the file, PyCharm will use the encoding configured for the file or directory in the file encoding settings. If encoding is not configured for the file or directory, PyCharm will use the encoding of the parent directory. If the parent directory encoding is also not configured, PyCharm will fall back to the Project Encoding , and if there is no project, to Global Encoding .
Change encoding of a file that contains explicit encoding
Open the desired file in the editor.
Change explicit encoding information. Use error highlighting to recognize wrong encoding and press Ctrl+Space to have a list of available encodings displayed:
Change the encoding used to view a file
If PyCharm displays characters in a file incorrectly, it probably couldn’t detect the file encoding. In this case, you need to specify the correct encoding to use for viewing and editing this file.
With the file open in the editor, either select File | File Properties | File Encoding from the main menu or click the File Encoding widget on the status bar, and select the correct encoding of the file.
The list of encodings is rather large. You can use speed search to quickly find the correct encoding: start typing when the popup is open.
Encodings marked with or might change the file contents. In this case, PyCharm opens a dialog where you can choose what to do with the file:
Reload : load the file in the editor from disk and apply encoding changes to the editor only. You will see the content changes related to the chosen encoding, but the actual file will not change.
Convert : overwrite the file with the chosen encoding.
This will add an association for the file to the file encoding settings. PyCharm will use the specified encoding to view and edit this file.
Configure file encoding settings
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Editor | File Encoding .
PyCharm uses these settings to view and edit files for which it was unable to detect the encoding and uses the specified encodings for new files. For more information, see File Encodings.
Select console output encoding
By default, PyCharm uses the system encoding to view console output.
In the Settings dialog ( Ctrl+Alt+S ), select Editor | General | Console .
File Encodings
PyCharm uses these settings to view and edit files for which it was unable to detect the encoding and uses the specified encodings for new files.
If PyCharm can’t determine the file or directory encodings, it falls back to the configured project encoding. If there is no project, PyCharm uses the global encoding. File or directory encodings take precedence over the project encoding, which, in turn, takes precedence over the global encoding.
For more information about handling file encodings, see Encoding.
Select the encoding to use when other encoding options don’t apply.
For example, PyCharm will use this encoding for files that are not part of any project or when you check out sources from a version control system.
Select the encoding to use for files that are not listed in the table below.
Specify the path to the files or directories for which you want to configure the encoding.
Select the encoding to use for the specified files and directories.
If this selector is disabled, the file probably has a BOM or declares the encoding explicitly. In this case, you can’t configure the encoding to use for this file.
The encoding selected for a directory applies to all files and subdirectories within it.
Default encoding for properties files
Select the encoding for properties files in your project.
Transparent native-to-ascii conversion
Show national characters (those not defined in ISO 8859-1) in place of the corresponding escape sequences.
By default, PyCharm converts native characters to ASCII escape sequences with uppercase letters. To use lowercase letters, add the following platform property to the custom properties file and restart the IDE:
For more information, see Platform properties.
Create UTF-8 files
Select how PyCharm should create UTF-8 files:
with BOM on Window and without BOM otherwise
By default, PyCharm creates UTF-8 files without the BOM because some software is not compatible with the BOM, and it may be a problem when interpreting scripts. However, in some cases, you may want to have the BOM in your UTF-8 files.
To add or remove the BOM from all UTF-8 files in your project, select the project folder in the Project tool window. After that, from the main menu, select File | File Properties and select either Add BOM or Remove BOM .
Как исправить иероглифы в терминале PyCharm на русские буквы?
Когда пытался просто вывести html страницу в терминале PyCharm, то вместо русских букв были иероглифы или так называемые кракозябры. Что делать? Как можно сделать вывод нормальным.. Я уже в настройках PyCharm везде поставил UTF-8 но это не помогало, я перезапускал программу и не помогало. Даже пытался запустить этот код в Visual Studio Code и в обычной cmd. Одно и тоже везде. Пожалуйста помогите решить проблему

Do not forgot to add — at the front of the line.
Restart the IDE.

god bless u for a tip
Didn’t work for me. Instead of this, I just checked encoding of stdin and stdout from console:
