Description
Reading non-ASCII characters from the console on Windows doesn't work when codepage is 65001. It's caused by a bug in Windows: microsoft/terminal#4551
tl;dr: ReadFile() and ReadConsoleA() return zeros instead of non-ASCII characters when the console codepage is set to 65001. It's broken on all Windows versions, including the latest Windows 10 20H2.
This issue was discovered by a reddit user.
I'll submit a PR with a proposed workaround soon.
Steps to Reproduce
> chcp 65001
> perl -E "while(<>) { printf qq<%vd\n>, $_ }"
<input ąść and press enter>
0.0.0.10
Expected behavior
> chcp 65001
> perl -E "while(<>) { printf qq<%vd\n>, $_ }"
<input ąść and press enter>
196.133.197.155.196.135.10
Perl configuration
It's broken on all perl versions including blead.
