Hello. It seems like the code you posted outputs the right bytes , but there is some layer of MSYS2 that is doing extra interpretation on it using out-of-band metadata to figure out what characters you really wanted to print on the screen. I don't understand the full story of what is going on here, but I got your code to work by following the advice here:
