digitalmars.D.learn - String characters not extended

reply Ignacious <I.D.T ProjectMaya.com> writes:
when one prints out a string with some extended(I guess it's 
unicode), writeln prints out the ascii versions that do not 
correspond to what they really are. e.g., an umlaut is printed 
out as 1/2 or something.

how to get it to print the correct codes?

Most likely not an issue with D, but your console's display encoding. Else your standard output might have ASCII as encoding and then you'd have to change it. What OS are you on?

Why do not use CP_UTF8 constant instead of 65001? It is safer, easier=20 to read and understand =

I have no reason to back it up with. I'm literally just copy/pasting what others have suggested I use.
