Sorry, something went wrong.
The attribute is not used to encode str arguments on a build linked against a wide-character version of the curses library, which is the default: str is passed to curses as wide characters and the encoding of the current locale determines the bytes. It is used on a narrow build, where it also decodes results.

Reword the two places that describe window.encoding as encoding str arguments. On a wide build it is not used for that, so the HOWTO now names the encoding of the current locale, and the attribute's own entry scopes the claim to a narrow build and covers results as well as arguments.
Documentation only, so no NEWS fragment.
