• curprev 14:4514:45, 7 May 2018 Artoria2e5 talk contribs 6,190 bytes +1,980 The 'M’ API set is not a thing, so rewrite according to MBCS docs (It's not Unicode, but it still explains the old UTF-8 rejection). Rewrote first paragraph of UTF-8, since Windows 10 1803 apparently has that option now. Also, chcp does work for UTF-8 even before Nov 2017; it was there when WSL came out. Just get a copy of Windows 10 ffs. undo
