However, many developers forget to specify the encoding when opening text files
encoded in UTF-8 (e.g. JSON, TOML, Markdown, etc...) since most Unix

+ encoded with. It defaults to :func:`locale.getencoding()`.
``encoding="locale"`` can be used to specify the current locale's encoding
explicitly. See :ref:`io-text-encoding` for more information.
Windows still uses legacy encodings for the system encoding (the ANSI Code
Page). Python uses it for the default encoding of text files (e.g.
-:func:`locale.getpreferredencoding`).

This may cause issues because UTF-8 is widely used on the internet
and most Unix systems, including WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
