What's new in 1.3.17
✅ Multibyte (UTF-8) support on Windows
OCRAN now fully supports multibyte filenames and directories—including Japanese, emoji, and other non-ASCII characters—on Windows platforms.
This is enabled by a UTF-8 manifest embedded in stub.exe, and requires Windows 10 version 1903 or later.
To ensure correct console I/O when running OCRAN-built executables, we recommend switching to UTF-8 code page using:
chcp 65001
