What is the encoding scheme used by Micro:bit(micropython)
I am developing a module that supports multi-language output in Micro:bit.
During the tests I found that the encoding methods used by Microsoft were not utf-8.
How can I support utf-8??

All MicroPython ports use UTF8 internally to represent strings.

What does Microsoft have to do with this?
