[issue28333] input() with Unicode prompt produces mojibake on Windows

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

I made some minor tweaks to the patch (no need for strlen() - passing -1 works equivalently), but otherwise it's exactly what I would have done so I committed it.

We currently have no tests to check which characters are written to a console output buffer. Issue28217 was tracking those, but considering how little code we have on top of output I don't think it's worth blocking anything on automating those tests.
