Answer : How can I display non-ascii characters on the command prompt?
|
|
Start | Settings | Control Panel | Regional and Language Options | Languages tab | Supplemental language support | Install files for East Asian Languages | Apply.
When you've done that:
Start | Settings | Control Panel | Regional and Language Options | Languages tab | Details button | Settings tab | Add input language | Korean. N
Note the corresponding IME for Korean Input System (IME 2002)
Save these changes and reboot. Log on and select Korean as the default language.
Start | Run | Cmd
At the prompt, type CHCP
You should get a response like
Active code page: 437
This is the code page for the United States. To change this to code page 949, which supports Korean, type:
chcp 949
Press Enter. The computer's ANSI code page is stored in the following registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP
To revert to US English, at the prompt, type:
chcp 937
Press Enter. Exit the CMD window, and change language to EN within Windows.
See this Microsoft article for more information on Code Pages and the CHCP command:
