Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I use chcp 65001. I have no problem displaying UTF-8 messages and
passing arguments with UTF-8 characters.

Well, according to https://ss64.com/nt/cmd.html the console uses
UTF-16LE. Or UCS-2 (as described in
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-unicode-and-utf-8-output-text-buffer/#console-built-in-a-pre-unicode-dawn).
Since console input is UTF-16LE, I guess I may need something in Lua
similar to 'regimes.translate(str, "utf16le")'.
How can I convert a string from UTF-16LE (into UTF-8)?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
