Windows churn cmd Character set

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 form (the so-called DOS form). By default, the code page used in the command line form is Chinese or American, that is, the encoding is the Chinese character set or the western character set.

The false assumption is that the UTF-8 character is displayed correctly and can be manipulated as follows:

1 , open the CMD.exe command line form

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

Chcp 65001

After you run the operation. The code page is turned into UTF-8 . However, UTF-8 characters are still not displayed correctly in the form.

3 , change the form properties. Change Font

Right-click on the command line title bar. Select Properties, Font. Change the font to TRUE for the type "Lucida Console", and then click OK to apply the attribute to the current form.

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 this problem, because the content displayed may not be completely. To minimize and then maximize the command line form, the contents of the file are fully displayed.

chcp with command:

Features: Show or set the active code page number

CHCP [nnn]

nnn Specifies the code page number.

do not add a number type CHCP displays the active code page number.

nnn Specifies an existing system character set. The character set is defined in the Config.sys file by the country command.

The code page can be set by the mode command under DOS.

Select code page: MODE con[:] CP select=yyy

code page Status: MODE con[:] CP [/status]

Press Windows+r , and then enter CMD or command to open the prompt.

For example input: Mode con cp select=936. The display is displayed in Simplified Chinese. Assume input mode con cp select=437. Is the display of MS-dos American English, and the Chinese display will be?
