Run `chcp 65001`, see <http://enwp.org/chcp_(command)>. I have not
tested this.

Okay, that's just the regular chcp command.

Setting the encoding to Windows-1252 and then expecting to be able to
talk variations of UTF to it seems wrong.

Might seem wrong at first glance, I agree; but hey, this is Windows, and
it magically works, sort of bypassing the chcp setting! You just need
the C API call:

  _setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_WTEXT)

Or some equivalent of that, which is what Win32::Unicode seems to be
doing.
