While this is generally sufficient, since Console is intended for interactive terminal use, some platforms allow different encodings to be configured for input and output. In such cases, using a single encoding may lead to incorrect behavior when reading from the terminal. To address this, the newly introduced system property, `stdin.encoding`, should be used specifically for input where appropriate.
