Forget that step 2, that causes "Active code page: 65001" to be sent to
stdout *every* time system() is invoked. We shouldn't be relying on that.
*This* is what should be done (and this really should be done in all D
command line apps - or better yet, put into the runtime):
import std.stdio;
version(Windows)
{
import std.c.windows.windows;
extern(Windows) export BOOL SetConsoleOutputCP(UINT);
}
void main()
{
version(Windows) SetConsoleOutputCP(65001);
writeln("HuG says: Fukken Über Death Terminal");
}
