In the DOS window UTF-8 characters under the character garbled solution

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).
to display the UTF-8 character step correctly:
1. Open the CMD.exe Command Line window (recommended to open the System32/cmd.exe with an administrator)
2, change the code page through the chcp command, UTF-8 code page is 65001
chcp 65001
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.
