Note: doesn't work on cmd.exe :-( (even with _set_mode). The only way I found was to change code page to 936 (chcp 936).
Windows terminal does behave in the expected way.

Good news! It seems like Windows Terminal (which doesn't exhibit the code page issue) may become the default terminal... by 2021...
