I need to display some Arabic script in my Debug Console, but I can't seem to convince it to work in utf-8. Here's a test I can run while at a breakpoint in my code, which doesn't require any code in particular:

import sys
sys.stdout.encoding
'ascii'
print("مرحبا")
مرحبا
print('test')
test

After typing in those commands, my Debug Console looks much like the text above, except the Arabic in print statement is in a mono-spaced font, the ending parenthesis on that line is overlapping text next to the other one, and the line between the two print statements is completely empty.

I have tried adding PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 to the project properties environment, and I have confirmed that Debugger > I/O in Preferences has utf-8 for both Debug and Shell I/O Encoding.
