Is there a Windows command shell that will display Unicode characters?

by

To do this with cmd.exe, you’ll need to use the console properties dialog to switch to a Unicode TrueType font.

Then use these commands:

 CHCP 65001
 DIR > UTF8.TXT
 TYPE UTF8.TXT

Commands:

  • Switch console to UTF-8 (65001)
  • Redirect output of DIR to UTF8.TXT
  • Dump UTF-8 to console

The characters will still need to be supported by the font to display properly on the console.
