--- Comment #6 from Petr Pisar <ppisar@???> ---
I think it happened working for you on Linux because your xterm coincindently
runs in UTF-8 locale. A that's not the case of Windows terminal emulator which
probably uses an 8-bit locale like cp1250.

A locale-aware program should convert an input from the locale encoding to its
internal representation (UTF-8 in case of PCRE2) and then again when printing
an output. The same applies to the program arguments.

But since pcre2test is used in PCRE2 tests which expects UTF-8 on input and
output, and since it is not a program for a general audience, maybe it's to
much to implement that capability.
