This is regarding display of Japanese characters in Command prompt with English OS. We are facing trouble, where in Japanese characters are being displayed as ??.
Steps to repro:
- On English OS have following Directory structure D:\Test\サーバ
- Open command prompt and execute “Dir “command after traversing to D:\Test.
- Japanese folder will show up as ?? or ..or Garbage.
Solutions which didn’t help are:
- Opening command prompt with /u switch
- Setting the command prompt font to Lucida Console
- Changing the code page to 65001 (Unicode) or 1252 using CHCP command.
Setting the system locale to Japanese is not an option for us. Intent is to display non Ascii characters on command prompt be it any language Japanese or German or else without asking client to install any other software.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
