Stdout only supports "multi-byte character strings" (ANSI). It does not support Unicode. If it appears to work in AutoHotkey Basic, that is because the UTF-8 bytes are being reinterpreted as ANSI (the only encoding supported by AutoHotkey Basic) and written out as-is, then whatever program you are in is interpreting those bytes as UTF-8. How the output will be interpreted depends on the program, and cannot be predicted by AutoHotkey itself.
