Command chcp

Nnn specifies the code page number.

Type the CHCP to display the active code page number without arguments.

Nnn specifies an existing system character set, which is defined by the COUNTRY command in the CONFIG.SYS file.

Selected code page: MODE CON [:] CP SELECT=yyy

Code page status: MODE CON [:] CP [/ STATUS]

Press Windows+R, and then type cmd or command to open the command prompt.

For example, enter: mode con cp select=936, which means that simplified Chinese is displayed. If you enter mode con cp select=437, it will show MS-DOS American English, while the Chinese display will be?

How to display UTF-8 characters in a DOS window

In Chinese Windows systems, if a text file is UTF-8 encoded, the contents of the file will not be 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 code is a Chinese character set or a western character set.

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

1. Open the CMD.exe command line window

2. Change the code page by chcp command. The code page of UTF-8 is 65001.

Chcp 65001

After doing this, the code page is changed to UTF-8. However, UTF-8 characters are still not displayed correctly in the window.

3. Modify the window properties and change the font

Right-click on the command line title bar, select "Properties"-> "font", change the font to True Type font "Lucida Console", and then click OK to apply the properties to the current window.

At this point, use the type command to display the contents of the UTF-8 text file:

Type filename.txt

4. The above actions can not completely solve the problem, because the content displayed may not be complete. You can minimize and then maximize the command line window, and the contents of the file will be fully displayed.
