Any Visual Studio users know if it's possible to see Japanese text written to the Output pane as anything besides "????". I've tried UTF-16 as well as UTF-8.

Achievement Unlocked! I managed to update our Windows desktop application to use the CoreTextServicesManager etc. so that the IME, Emoji Picker, Clipboard History and other UX is properly positioned over non-edit boxes! Thanks to @DHowett.mas.to.ap.brid.gy for a nudge in the right direction.
