/// A [StdoutLogger] which replaces Unicode characters that cannot be printed to
/// the Windows console with alternative symbols.
///
-/// This exists because of https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/28571.
+/// By default, Windows uses either "Consolas" or "Lucida Console" as fonts to
+/// render text in the console. Both fonts only have a limited character set.
+/// Unicode characters, that are not available in either of the two default
+/// fonts, should be replaced by this class with printable symbols. Otherwise,
+/// they will show up as the unrepresentable character symbol '�'.
class WindowsStdoutLogger extends StdoutLogger {
@override
void writeToStdOut(String message) {
stdout.write(message
.replaceAll('✗', 'X')
- .replaceAll('✓', '+')
- .replaceAll('•', '*')
+ .replaceAll('✓', '√')
);
- // TODO(goderbauer): find a way to replace all other non-printable characters
- // with the unrepresentable character symbol '�'
