Hello.

I am totally new to UPP.
Trying a console app with utf-8 output.
Following piece of code does not work in windows console:

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
   CoutUTF8();
   Cout() << "èèâü";
}

output is garbage in cmd console.
However, I checked in console properties that code page is indeed 65001 ( utf-8)
As a note no problem in a takecommand console or conemu console.
Any idea ?

Is this related to the following TODO note in Stream.h :

	void Put0(int w) {
#ifdef PLATFORM_WIN32
		buffer.Cat(w);
		if(CheckUtf8(buffer)) { // TODO: Use W api

Thanks.
