basically, i want to be able to input unicode characters (such as left arrow, U+2190) to my perl script in cmd.exe and have it printed properly. this narrows down to getting the following to work: filename "myScript.pl" with contents: print "you entered ($ARGV[0])'\n"; and run it in cmd.exe as: "perl myScript.pl ←"

i dont care about getting wide character print warnings.
