G'day parv,

Following the link you provided, I see quite a fair way down the page, where it has an old vs. new comparison, it says about the "old":

"... to maintain backward compatibility, we have been unable to add ... unicode text, and emoji."

That possibly explains why your earlier attempts had problems. Also, if I recall correctly, MSWin uses UTF-16 natively; so that's just another fly in the ointment.

I've never been a big fan of cmd.exe; I wasn't overly impressed with PowerShell when I first encountered it a couple of years ago; this Windows Terminal looks a bit more promising and I may try it out at some point — I'm not rushing to do that, but I did at least bookmark that link. I also have Win10, but I use Cygwin on top of that, so these MS shell issues are somewhat moot.

Anyway, I'm pleased to see you finally got it working.
