-Additionally, while there is no concrete plan as of yet, Python may change
-the default text file encoding to UTF-8 in the future.
-
Accordingly, it is highly recommended that you specify the encoding
explicitly when opening text files. If you want to use UTF-8, pass
``encoding="utf-8"``. To use the current locale encoding,
-``encoding="locale"`` is supported in Python 3.10.
+``encoding="locale"`` is supported since Python 3.10.

+ :ref:`utf8-mode`
+ Python UTF-8 Mode can be used to change the default encoding to
+ UTF-8 from locale-specific encoding.
-When you need to run existing code on Windows that attempts to open
-UTF-8 files using the default locale encoding, you can enable the UTF-8
-mode. See :ref:`UTF-8 mode on Windows <win-utf8-mode>`.
+ :pep:`686`
+ Python 3.15 will make :ref:`utf8-mode` default.
