title: Task output encoding in VSCode
body: <p>I'm learning BeautifullSoup with Visual Studio Code and when I run this script:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
  from fake_useragent import UserAgent
  
  ua = UserAgent()
  header = {'user-agent':ua.chrome}
  google_page = requests.get('https://www.google.com',headers=header)
  
  soup = BeautifulSoup(google_page.content,'lxml') # html.parser
  
  print(soup.prettify())
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I'm getting the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Traceback (most recent call last):   File
    "c:\ ... \intro-to-soup-2.py", line 13, in 
        print(soup.prettify())   File "C:\ ... \Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\encodings\cp1252.py",
    line 19, in encode
        return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0] UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character
    '\U0001f440' in position 515: character maps to </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>If I force the encoding for utf-8 in the soup variable I won't be abble to use prettify as it doesn't work with strings...
  Also tried using # -<em>- coding: utf-8 -</em>- on the first line of code without sucess.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my tasks.json for this project:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
  // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
  // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "command": "python",
  "isShellCommand": true,
  "args": ["${file}"],
  "files.encoding": "utf8",
  // Controls after how many characters the editor will wrap to the next line. Setting this to 0 turns on viewport width wrapping (word wrapping). Setting this to -1 forces the editor to never wrap.
  "editor.wrappingColumn": 0, // default value is 300
  // Controls the font family.
  "editor.fontFamily": "Consolas, 'Malgun Gothic', '맑은 고딕','Courier New', monospace",
  // Controls the font size.
  "editor.fontSize": 15,
  "showOutput": "always"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The exact same code is running in PyCharm without any problems.
  Any ideas how I can fix this in Visual Studio Code?</p>
  
  <p>Here's my "pip freeze" result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>astroid==1.5.3
