If you want to correctly display UTF-8 characters, follow these steps:

1. Open the cmd.exe command line window

2. Use the chcp command to change the code page. The code page of The UTF-8 is 65001.

Chcp 65001

After this operation is performed, the code page is turned into a UTF-8. However, UTF-8 characters still cannot be correctly displayed in the window.

3. Modify window properties and font

Right-click the title bar of the command line, select "property"-> "font", change the font to "lucida console" of true type, and click "OK" to apply the property to the current window.

Then you can use the type command to display the content of the UTF-8 text file:

Type filename.txt
