Echo-ing unicode character

Question

I would like to echo the unicode character \"é\" in cmd via running bat file. I prepared a short script:

@echo off
SET message=Gép3
echo %message%
pause


        

Answer 1

Do this (both are important):

• Use code page 65001 (UTF-8) chcp 65001
• When you save your .bat file, use UTF-8

i. e. edit your example code in this way:

@echo off
chcp 65001
SET message=Gép3
echo %message%
pause

Again, it is important that you save your .bat file with encoding UTF-8
