Description
By default, Windows terminals start with code page 437, which is roughly equivalent to ASCII. While working on #30178, I discovered that this causes the following traceback:
`
(mplusmon) λ manage.py runserver
Watchman unavailable: pywatchman not installed.

Exception in thread Thread-1:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2026' in position 24: character maps to <undefined>
`
The problem can be resolved by changing the code page to UTF-8, as follows:
`
chcp 65001
`
This appears to be a new issue relative to Django 2.1.7, because the problem did not occur there. I'll track down wherever someone entered the horizontal elipsis character rather than "..." into the code, because this ought to be easy enough to fix.
