ANSI - output with phobos

[Juan Jose Comellas]

The problem is that the 'char' type can only contain valid UTF-8
*characters*. A character in UTF-8 can be composed of 1 to 4 *bytes*, and
not all of the values a byte can take are valid in UTF-8. In fact, most of
the byte values above 127 are not valid. You have two options: 1) use the
wchar type (the Latin 1/ISO8859-1 character set is very similar to ANSI and
all of its characters are 2 byte-wide when mapped to the UTF-16 character
set); 2) manually convert the 'ANSI' value into UTF-8.

For more information I suggest reading this:
