codepage 65001 (UTF8) should be available on all modern Windows. 
You can try command cp 65001 in the console window (and change 
your font accordingly).

I don't know know about Racket, but D's problems are related to 
the C runtime library. Here is what I found out:

-m32 (uses DM C library): output to stdout works, but stderr is 
broken (corrupt accented characters, or total output freeze).

-m32mscoff and -m64 (Microsoft C runtime): broken characters and 
some mysterious failures.

So this leaves transcoding as the only viable solution. Luckily, 
there is std.windows.charset.toMBSz function you can use.
