Why are you switching to cp 65001, btw? It's completely unnecessary

Sorry for delayed response. I knew I had a reason for this, but honestly forgot
what it was. Here is the reason:
$ cat omega.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Ω\n");
}
$ x86_64-pc-cygwin-gcc -o cygwin.exe omega.c
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -o mingw32.exe omega.c
$ chcp.com 65001
Active code page: 65001
$ ./cygwin.exe
Ω
$ ./mingw32.exe
Ω
$ chcp.com 437
Active code page: 437
$ ./cygwin.exe
Ω
$ ./mingw32.exe
Ω
So everything is normal until you run a mingw32 program with the wrong code
page. You would never notice this with cygwin programs because as you can see
they work with either code page.
