Python 3 defaults to using
utf-8
for these two methods: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.encode.By using the default encoding, we result in less code and less cognitive overload, because the default works and shouldn't require thinking about it. We should only specify the encoding when it's not
utf-8
