----- Please, do not exaggerate too much. On my win7 box, using cp65001: The golang works. Despite my poor knowledge with with this language, I even relatively quickly succeded to write a "readline" fct. Ruby 2 works. irb, the interactive ruby works. I remember to have had some diffuculties in entering some chars, this a different problem. echo "unicode" works. xelatex (my favourite tool), a tex-unicode engine, works. I'm usualy using a GUI tool, I just tested with a "éàü.tex" document. Indeed, it works. Starting that created document "éàü.pdf" with the cmd > start éàü.pdf works. It calls Acrobat Reader. Starting that created document with Sumatra, a pdf viewer works. Not directly related to my comment, I can compile a .tex document in such a dir > D:\jm\Москва\Zürich\Αθήνα\œdipe and it works. Something a little bit different. Neil Hodgson's SciTE editor. One can configure the output pane to use 65001. All the examples above works. It is also possible to make Python working, but I had to write my own "printing material". A note about font. The console does not, and is not able, to display all the "chars". It is however always displaying text very smoothly and correctly using the replacement *glyph". Nothing to do with an "incorrect behaviour" of the console. Eg: > echo "ሴé€㑖Ѓ⌴*" works. I mainly considered BMP "characters". Windows is not so bad. One can discuss ad nauseam the pros and cons of console-gui application. I have always considered Windows as a system which use gui applications. And even with Python using a gui toolkit, I sometimes "link" my own created "gui console". I do not wish to defend MS. What I wrote depends on the Windows version, XP, Vista, Windows 7. One should recognize, with win7, MS, finally, produce a full unicode system. Strangely, among all the "bashing" one can read about that system, this is rarely mentioned. (With an excellent unicode coding scheme!) jmf -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
