I did this

See for example Marc's 6DY-SHZ-5KMWP2---- autobuilds, like this one:
https://curl.haxx.se/dev/log.cgi?id=20190407081751-30470

Note this:

=== Start of file stderr165
curl: (3) Failed to convert www.[EF][BF][BD][EF][BF][BD][EF][BF][BD].se to ACE;
curl: (3) Failed to convert www.gro[EF][BF][BD]e.de to ACE;
=== End of file stderr165

which doesn't happen when run in gdb, which is a native MSYS program, via ./runtests.pl -g (and the original URLs are printed correctly then).
So it seems like MSYS2 does some UTF-8-to-something-else conversion for Windows compatibility.

I expected the following

The tests to either succeed or not be executed (but preferably succeed as the MSYS2 terminal itself is UTF-8 capable).

curl/libcurl version

post-7.64.1 master 2f44e94

operating system

MSYS2 with MinGW-w64 on Windows 10

@MarcelRaad
tool: support UTF-16 command line on Windows
fea657a 
- use wmain instead of main when _UNICODE is defined [0]
- define argv_item_t as wchar_t * in this case
- use the curl_multibyte gear to convert the command-line arguments to
  UTF-8

This makes it possible to pass parameters with characters outside of
the current locale on Windows, which is required for some tests, e.g.
the IDN tests. Out of the box, this currently only works with the
Visual Studio project files, which default to Unicode.

The problem is that curl receives its command-line arguments with ANSI encoding even though the perl precheck reports a UTF-8 locale. Using Windows's native UTF-16 for them as done in #3784 fixes this issue.

Only test 165 is then still failing because of ß handling in IDNA 2003 vs. 2008.
