You can also try using a wide string literal, i.e. "你好，世界"w. The 
suffix forces the string to use 16-bit characters.

The garbled display from writeln might be related to your console 
settings. If you aren't using the UTF-8 codepage in cmd.exe, that 
would explain why the text appears garbled. Unfortunately, 
Windows has some significant bugs with UTF-8 in the console.
