While it certainly wasn't my intent to spread false info, nor to defend D or sidetrack from its bugs, I cannot confirm that unicode output *just plain works*, neither with Python, and I'd be highly interested in more info on how you got it to work. CP932 is invalid on my machine as well, and I don't know of a font that supports Chinese symbols and is available for the Windows console. Could you post some further clues like which font and which version of Windows you use, please? That'd be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.
