You need to be using a system that supports the output.

On Windows, it means changing the console mode to utf-8 so it 
understands the bytes when it sees them.

import core.sys.windows.windows;
SetConsoleOutputCP(65001); // UTF-8

before you do some writeln and it should work on windows 10. On 
older systems, you might have to go into console properties and 
select a truetype font too.

(or as the user btw you can go into console properties and change 
the code page there, but I think it is slightly easier to do it 
on code)
