OK, just tested it: after a program calls 
SetConsoleOutputCP(CP_UTF8); it's able to print utf-8 text 
correctly, but if it fails to reset the codepage back, the 
console remains in utf-8, so other programs will fail to print 
text in oem encoding in such console. If this program runs other 
programs, they fail to print oem text to this console, because 
the console expects utf-8.
