Investigate why emojis don't seem to be displaying in console #302

Closed Ernest314 closed 2 years ago

Coloring works, and some unicode characters display properly (e.g. em dash). Text encoding is already being set to UTF-8.

It appears that it usually does work and cmd.exe just doesn't support it. This works completely fine on wt.exe.

Visual Studio can't set the debugger to launch with wt.exe; this depends on OS-level defaults (see more reasoning here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56753339/how-to-use-the-new-windows-terminal-as-visual-studio-debugging-console) -- switching to Windows 11 is the only way to swap over as of now.

(The linked github issue on OS default terminal settings also contains some more resources, and reasons as to why this isn't trivial to change.)
