This error is from userspace (ie Python). The bash.exe command has been deprecated; use wsl.exe. It is probable that the problem is related to your Python configuration living in .bashrc (or similar), which is not being run in the above command. Try something like:

C:\> wsl.exe /bin/bash -ic /home/you/test.py

I tried your command and got the same result. Still thanks for your help.

Thanks for the follow up. There isn't enough here for me to reproduce the problem locally. I am not familiar enough with Python to tell you with specificity what causes Python to output codec can't encode character, but it appears to be something related to language settings.

Still have no idea to solve the problem. But finally I found aother way to print unicode string:

import sys
sys.stdout.buffer.write('啊'.encode('utf-8'))

Maybe it is not elegant but it works.
