README

          
Small command-line tool for testing of the folllowing:

* Pass unicode characters as command-line arguments. The executable filename already has a `Æ大` suffix which should automatically show up in `argv[0]`.

* Print unicode characters like `🤍` back to the console.

### Known issues

|         Issue             |       Workaround       |

|---------------------------|------------------------|

| Non-ASCII characters in `argv[]` are truncated to `?` if using `int main(int argc, char* argv[])` as entry point. | Instead use `int wmain(int argc, wchar_t* argv[])` as entry point. |

| Windows 10 command prompt (`cmd.exe`) seem unable to display non-ASCII characters written to console. | Upgrade to Windows 11 or use bash shell instead. |
