Some emojis in video titles break youtube-dl #24456

Did you happen to find a solution? There seems to be a workaround here for Linux users #5042 but I'm on Windows. |

Description
It seems as if some emojis break youtube-dl when passing in the verbose argument. For example, current livestream (will change to a VOD depending on when this is read) found on VLive is titled '누누가 만든 초코가 참 달고나🍫 🥛 '. When I attempt to run the following command:
youtube-dl --no-part --hls-prefer-native -f best -v https://www.vlive.tv/video/181711, youtube-dl breaks and returnsOSError: Failed to write string.I believe this is as a result of passing in
-v, because if I choose not to have a verbose output, youtube-dl continues with no issue.Another concern I want to raise is that I assume only certain emojis affects this verbose bug. The reason is there is another current livestream (could be a VOD depending on when this is read) found on VLive is titled 'ATINY 1기 키트 언박싱해요🎁 '. When I ran the same command above and replacing the links, it continued just fine with the verbose output.
