It's a strict translation, I think. After the xlate call
(svn_cmdline_cstring_from_utf8 succeeds and so the fuzzy version isn't
called) I see it as a 0x81, but it comes out as a ? on the console.
The CP437 came from GetConsoleCP and GetConsoleOutputCP in
svn_cmdline_init. And those are Win32 API's, so I'm not setting the
language options correctly or something for Console apps?
