this looks like somehow LANG is set to C (or maybe something that
Python does not know).
ANSI_X3.4-1968 appears to be a synonym for ASCII

You can change this temporarily by preceding the program call with an
explicitely defined locale:

$ python3 -c "import locale; print(locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET))"
UTF-8
$ LANG=C python3 -c "import locale; print(locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET))"
ANSI_X3.4-1968
$ LANG=en_US python3 -c "import locale; print(locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET))"
ISO-8859-1
$ LANG=en_US.UTF8 python3 -c "import locale; print(locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET))"
UTF-8

Maybe your terminal emulator is misconfigured, did you try
a different one? Or is there something suspicious looking in the
output of env ?
