…oes not support UTF-8 text.

- The design of Unicode began in 1987 by engineers at Xerox and Apple, and has been refined and updated since then, adding new character representations, additional language support, and even emoji 😊. Due in large part to its flexibility and storage / transmission efficiency, UTF-8 has become the predominant text encoding mechanism on the Web. As of 2018, 92.4% of all web pages are encoded in UTF-8. Unfortunately, the Windows console does not support UTF-8 text! The Windows console cannot display many complex Chinese characters and cannot display emoji. The Console team has been reviewing the internals of the Windows Console for the latest versions of Win10, modernizing, modularizing, simplifying and improving code and features without noticeably sacrificing performance and without changing current behaviors. If you're running the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, you're already running this new buffer! But don't try to display emoji just yet, that requires a new rendering engine that supports font reservation, the ability to dynamically search, load, and render glyphs from fonts other than the currently selected font.
