Anyone using a shell for Windows that works and supports UTF-8 properly?
A regular Windows console supports UTF-8 to some extent:
* Change console font to Lucida Console
* issue "chcp 65001"
You can even get more fonts into there with a bit of hackery.
I did that but "type <filewith-utf8.txt>" still prints garbage.
That's weird. My machine (WinXp Sp3) has no problem printing UTF-8 to the
console. The only special thing I did was changed the font to Lucide
Console.
Ok. Thanks for the info. Knowing that it has actually worked for at
least one person gives me motivation to try again.

Write a tiny little D program and see what you get on the console:
import tango.io.Stdout;
void main() {
Stdout("spade, club, heart, diamond: \u2660\u2663\u2665\u2666");
}
I don't know anything about the "type" command, and whether it supports
UTF-8. But the console itself ought to be able to handle it. Try
compiling the above code and see what happens.
