It is not solvable in general because stdout is nothing but a stream
that accepts characters. (Well, UTF-8 code units when it comes to Unicode).
The program can detect or assume that it is running in a console and
change that environment if it is allowed to do so.
Google searches like "change code page console programmatically windows"
produce some answers but I don't have any experience. :)

Call:
SetConsoleOutputCP(65001);
Works for me on win7 64bit. Not sure how far back it's supported though.

You might need your own definition of it, don't know it's available in
the phobos windows bit.
