Hi,

I just found several lists have the issue like this regarding charset:

(venv) mailman@new-mailman3 ~ (v3.1.1)> mailman members ... Traceback (most recent call last): ... line 109, in display_members print(f'{address.display_name} <{address.original_email}>', UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character '\u0142' in position 9: ordinal not in range(256)

There is something in your python that has set the encoding for stdout to latin1 instead of the default utf-8. E.g.

$ python3.10
Python 3.10.9 (main, Dec 11 2022, 12:59:24) [GCC 9.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> name = 'abc\u0142def'
 >>> print (f'{name}')
abcłdef
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.stdout.reconfigure(encoding='latin1')
 >>> print (f'{name}')
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character '\u0142' in 
position 3: ordinal not in range(256)
