windows - Using non-ASCII characters in a cmd batch file

Question

I'm working on a .bat program, and the program is written in Finnish. The problem is that CMD doesn't know these "special" letters, such as ?, ?, ?.

Is there a way to make those work? I'd also like it if the user could use those letters too.

Part of my code:

    @echo off
    /u
    title JustATestProgram
    goto test123

    :test123
    echo Letters : ?? ?? ??
    pause
    exit

When I open this file, the letters look like this:

Answer 1

Try putting this line at the top of the batch file:

chcp 65001

It should change the console encoding to UTF-8, and you should be able to read the file properly in the script after that.
