Context

Odin: dev-2023-04:341ba347 OS: Windows 10 Home Basic (version: 22H2), build 19045.2846

Expected Behavior

Expected to see the emoji from this example https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin#the-odin-programming-language

Current Behavior

The program "+ + * ­ƒÿâ - /" calculates the value 7

Running the type command does show the emojis.

Happens on both windows terminal and wezterm.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Try the example code on the odin lang github linked above
  2. See output when ran

This isn't a bug with Odin but rather your terminal has not be configured to use UTF-8.

Try the command chcp 65001.

I managed to fix the problem by following the 4th step here: https://akr.am/blog/posts/using-utf-8-in-the-windows-terminal. After restarting the unicode output of an odin binary shows up correctly, but it's behind a beta feature of windows.

chcp 65001 didn't work correctly for some reason even though the above should be doing the same under the hood, it only showed question marks (in cmd, no effect otherwise).

I just don't understand why utf-8 already works in windows terminal when manually typing or the output of a rust binary for example. But with Odin you have to enable this.
