Redirect to file fails!

from __future__ import unicode_literals
import win_unicode_console
win_unicode_console.enable()
print u"ÄäБб"

Works if it’s called from console, but as far as it’s redirected to a file:

print u"ÄäБб"
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-3: ordinal not in range(128)

When I try py -3 -c "print('α')" > out.txt, it saves as utf-8 when PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 is set. If you are talking about output to console, then of course it doesn’t work, that’s why win_unicode_console exists in the first place.
