Felix Palmen 📯<p>Tested it on <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> now. Ok, it works on some Windows-10 machine, the terminal nowadays can do both <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/utf8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>utf8</span></a> output and interpret some <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ansi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ansi</span></a> sequences ...</p><p>But: You have to enable both explicitly in your code using some proprietary Console APIs 🤯 <br><a href="https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/commit/5a85965d96d4456d1e739427122f66e89fb358b6" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/com</span><span class="invisible">mit/5a85965d96d4456d1e739427122f66e89fb358b6</span></a></p>
