   Better detection of CMD's Unicode mode?

   So far, I could only think of two ways for detecting CMD's Unicode mode.   
      
   1. By displaying a character and redirect it into a file, then check the   
   file size. This is the simplest, but slow. And the fact that it creates a   
   file, makes it not a preferred method.   
      
   2. By parsing the %CMDCMDLINE% variable to check the presence of the /U   
   switch. It's relatively fast, but parsing it may require a relatively large   
   code - considering that multiple switches may not be separated by a space.   
      
   Anyone know other way(s) to detect it?
