I'm trying to add support for unicode to my app in D and having 
issues.

string str = "Pokémon No";
writeln(str);

this outputs:

what I want to do is change the funky character such that the 
string reads:
Pok\u00e9mon No

Your terminal doesn't support utf-8.
Prints fine using dpaste and gnome-terminal.

Strings are UTF-8 in D - but the console might need to be 
configured to display them correctly. If you're on Windows, this 
will do it:

   SetConsoleOutputCP(CP_UTF8);
