And this blog post by @mscraigloewen https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/understanding-windows-console-host-settings/

Both use the phrase "WxH characters" for describing window width and height, but I can't find a definition for this anywhere. I'm guessing it's a 32 bit value where the upper 16 bits are width and the lower 16 bit value is height, but, AGAIN, I can't find this documented anywhere.
