UTF-8 characters are displayed in a DOS window under Windows DOS command

In a Chinese Windows system, if a text file is UTF-8 encoded, the contents of the file are not displayed correctly in the CMD.exe command-line window (the so-called DOS window). By default, the code page used in the command-line window is Chinese or American, that is, the encoding is the Chinese character set or the western character set.

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

1. Open the CMD.exe command Line window

2, change the code page through the chcp command, UTF-8 code page 65001

Chcp 65001

After you do this, the code page becomes UTF-8. However, the UTF-8 character is still not displayed correctly in the window.

3, modify the window properties, change the font

Right-click on the command line title bar, select Properties, font, modify the font to True type "Lucida Console", and then click OK to apply the attribute to the current window.

You can then use the type command to display the contents of the UTF-8 text file:

Type filename.txt

4, through the above operation does not completely solve the problem, because the displayed content may not be complete. You can minimize and then maximize the command-line window, and the contents of the file are fully displayed.
