Yes, wchar looks ok, dchar is emitted as an uint, i.e. the character is not
displayed in the debugger.

VS2019's C++ compiler emits T_CHAR32 for a char32_t variable and displays it
correctly, using that with dmd works, too (after a small patch to mago, it
shows it as wchar right now).

I guess it should be ok to switch to T_CHAR32, ignoring ancient debuggers that
might not support it.
