I get UTF-8 in the Win 10 console all the time.

Well you must be doing something different, or running a different build or edition of windows, because this will do utf-16 on a fresh install of home 10 every single time.
Edit: Obviously if you fiddle your results may change, but there are problems with fiddling in that the windows console is notoriously buggy.
So I'm not talking about post-tweaking. I'm talking about unboxing windows, writing a C++ app that printfs to stdout, Win+R, cmd.exe, type foo.exe > bar.txt
it will gen utf-16

Hmm. I've never had Windows create a UTF-16 file when redirecting stdout. I don't think the fact that you've been getting UTF-16 files has been Windows' fault but a result of the tools doing UTF-16 output.
It's possible that the 'fix' you are seeing is an enhancement in Windows detecting UTF-16 output and automatically converting it to UTF-8 for the console to improve readability.

I just got a message from friend from Kyiv.
He's had to vacuate and is very worried about friends and family. He's witnessed the Russian brutality and determined to fight untill his homeland is taken back.
He's OK for now, but they need our support to keep fighting!

I previously rebooted the documentation for GFX - index.md[^]
What I didn't have were unit tests, for a number of reasons, chief among them I didn't know how to convince platformIO to use them, particularly in the somewhat complicated scenario I need them to work in (my library has dependencies of dependencies for example), but also because I had no CI/CD infrastructure to run them in the first place and it's already a ton of work to publish - begging the need for CI/CD.
With *a lot* of help I got all of the above in place now, but I am stuck writing unit tests now. Since the library is already somewhat mature I have lot of ground to cover. It's hard to keep track.
But wait!
My documentation has a handy outline, aka a table of contents.
There's the outline for my unit tests.
Now I have something to go on. I can just write the tests following the documentation. That will at least cover the surface area of my code.
It's not an especially clever thing, as clever things go, but it's saving me a ton of time, and getting my feet under me so yay.

9 messages and rep points of 719. not sure if that factors into the algorithm they use.
you have been a member for 6+ years.
I think after a certain level your messages aren't flagged anymore, but I could be mistaken.

Hey Walt,
It's great to see you again. You should ask a staff member to help you recover your old account[^].

See that also on your latest message. Of course I remember you 'junior'  and don't remember that was the case (flagged) in past.
Maybe CP AI changed ....

Documentation AND unit tests?!??!????
And you call yourself a developer!🤪
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Harrumph. Those of us who regularly and consistently document and test what we develop find it disheartening when the rest of you don't follow our example.
Especially when we have to use your crap.

I don't know. I definitely appreciate unit testing, but I'll take a mature library if it's documented, even if the testing wasn't the most rigorous. "battle tested/field tested" counts for something, in my book. I'm not saying it's ideal, but it's not nothing.

I agree with Honey somewhat. She is definitely a developer.
If one's software is guiding a missile, flying an airplane, doing surgery, or powering a city, then rigorous unit testing is a requirement.
If it's a library for open ended usage, then proper documentation and user feedback for bugs, etc. should be part of it. Much like open source, etc. Maturity is also a key factor. How long has it been used and what is its track record, etc.
I've done a little of both. Validation and verification processes defined and executed when being actively used for work.
Like factory inventory, bookkeeping, etc. Even the big companies fall on their faces if they do not do this. Read where big name car rental company caused people to be arrested and jailed because their software did not properly reconcile whether a car was lost or actually stolen. Yikes.

Yikes indeed!
I totally agree with all of what you said in your post above. I guess I just didn't really kick it around much before I posted.

Hold on, you mean to say you read documentation?
And you call yourself a developer!? 
Remember, a few hours of debugging can save you five minutes of reading documentation.

I'm a well seasoned traveler, I know my sh*t around bookings and airports and planes.
I just hate traveling these days; there's a sense of covid anxiety that is hard to ignore;
Everyone a little bit more on edge.
I had a business trip to Portugal last week, got tested before (negative), filled all the forms needed to enter Portugal (and Switzerland for transit) and back to Canada via Munich after.
Spent the week in a meeting room fully masked; got tested before coming back (negative).
I've been self-quarantining and really limiting my human contacts all week before traveling again to Italy for vacations (booked a long time ago, even before Omicron!)
I'm gonna get tested this afternoon, no symptoms, I should be OK (2x vax, 1x booster)
Now trying to understand the passenger locator form (which is different than the one I filled 2 weeks ago)
The mask is a non issue for me, I don't mind it that much, obviously no mask will be better, but it's the least of my problem.
Anyway, no motivation today at work.

2 weeks in total,
Rome for a couple of days, 2 days near Castelnuovo Berardenga (near Sienna), couple of days in Lucca (easter week-end) and back in Rome for a few days.
We have a car (maybe not the best thing moneywise) and will do day trips and get lost in the country side.

Nice area, especially Lucca and Siena. Good idea to get a car since in those areas transportation is lacking, especially now with COVID - also a large part of the beauty is in the countryside, far from major trasport hubs.
Just be aware that the Tuscany countryside can be a bit difficult to drive in, as many roads are narrow, bad, winding and steep so you need to pay extra attention. In Rome I'd advise you to park in a exchange hub and move with public transportation because roman drivers and roads are something indescribable (if you ever drove in India you'll find many similarities). Also the centre of Rome is "easily" walkable.
Have a nice stay!
