That seems to mean they're doing some weird conversion that we can't
really fix.  It might be worth adding a @file option (read arguments),
which is always in UTF-8, so that scripts that want to interface with
this always have at least one reliable way of getting these characters
through.  (Or perhaps in the locale/codepage encoding, I'm not sure.)

Well, MS's docs say "_wprintf", at least in my version.  No matter.

It's a *little* easier in GUI apps, where you don't have to deal with
argv weirdness nor with the console codepage.
