Yeah, that's a "feature" of MultiByteToWideChar. I've read it replaces
the infinity symbol with '8', presumably on the grounds that it's a
number and it looks a bit like it. :)

I was gonna say ignore, but then I found that mintty sends a question
mark due to code I'd explicitly put in ...

I sure hate beeps though.
