Java, UTF-8, and Windows console
Try chcp 65001 && start.bat
The chcp
command changes the code page, and 65001 is the Win32 code page identifier for UTF-8 under Windows 7 and up. A code page, or character encoding, specifies how to convert a Unicode code point to a sequence of bytes or back again.
Java on windows does NOT support unicode ouput by default. I have written a workaround method by calling Native API with JNA library.The method will call WriteConsoleW for unicode output on the console.
