It's annoyingly broken for me due to the problems with WriteFile and ReadFile.

    >>> print('\u0100')             
    Ā
    
    >>>

Note the extra line because write() returns that 2 characters were written instead of 3 bytes. So the final linefeed byte gets written again. 

Let's buy 4 and get 1 free:

    >>> print('\u0100' * 4)
    ĀĀĀĀ
    Ā
    
    >>>
