It seems that windows converts all input into the current codepage. After a bit of googling there doesn't seem to be a good way to get it to use UTF-8. Feel free to reopen if you know of any open source programs that can handle arbitrary utf-8 input in a windows shell.

oops. need to study up on my foreign currencies apparently. either way i imagine you could reproduce this with any number of non-ASCII characters.

the £ symbol is the British Pound symbol, not lire

importantly, it's double byte when encoded in UTF8
