UTF-16 on cmd.exe

Question

I\'ve created the directory \"•◘▬¨ŤlCęół♥☺☻0\" and I would like to make it visible with dir /b command. So far, chcp 10000, chcp 10001 and chcp 65000(utf-8) commands failed(

Answer 1

Yeah,I've just resolved my problem. It was a fault of default font in cmd.exe which can't manage unicode signs. To fix it(windows 7 x64 pro):

1. Open/run cmd.exe
2. Click on the icon at the top-left corner
3. Select properties
4. Then "Font" bar
5. Select "Lucida Console" and OK.
6. Write Chcp 10000 at the prompt
7. Finally dir /b

Enjoy your clean UTF-16 output with hearts, Chinese signs, and much more!

Answer 2

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

CHCP 65001
DIR > UTF8.TXT
TYPE UTF8.TXT
