Re^3: Unicode again, in Win7 cmd

Now this works (prints black spade suit):

system( "chcp 65001" );
print "\xe2\x99\xa0\n";

It seems that the font I am using "Lucida Console" (and the other fonts offered in "Properties") just has no entries for the diagonals :-<

A quick look into the "Character Map" tool confirms this. All this time wasted...

Thanks for all your replies. From here I guess I need to find out which fonts have the diagonals and how can I get cmd.exe to use one of them. But this is not a Perl question.

BTW, if you find a matching font, you need to enable it in the registry: `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Consol +e\TrueTypeFont` [download] ...or `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Consol +e\RasterFonts` [download] ...a new string value, e.g. 00, 01.. where the value is your font - reboot required :-( Unfortunately i couldn't figure out the right one yet ;-( Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply] [d/l] [select]

There is "Arial Unicode MS" which has the diagonals. While your advice is good, I cannot implement it due to the lack of admin rights. :(	[reply]

I hear powershell.exe has some unicode stuffs, but I never use it :)	[reply]
