          Issue ID: 12990
           Summary: utf8 string not read/written to windows console
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD

          Reporter: sum.proxy gmail.com

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
  string s = stdin.readln();
  write(s);
}

The code above should write a unicode (specifically cyrillic) string to output
to a windows console (with cp set to 65001), but the string comes out empty.
The same code works correctly when run through windows debugger windbg.exe, so
hopefully it will be an easy fix.
