Re: [OT] ASCII, cmd.exe, linux console, charset, code pages, fonts and other amenities

On Windows (7 and 10 at least), you can run

chcp 65001
[download]

to make the console (and thus STDOUT) understand UTF-8. Then, many more characters become supported.

thanks Corion, I read about this already but really do not understand what it really means.. chcp Active code page: 65001 perl -e "print chr($_) for 1..256" Wide character in print at -e line 1. !"#$%&'()+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW +XYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{\|}~ ��������&#6553 +3;� .... more of these.. [download] Even with this codepage and in win7 I get the dreadful wide character in print message.. L There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

You need to tell Perl your terminal now works in UTF-8. `perl -CO -we "print chr for 1 .. 255"` [download] An you can try higher numbers than 255, too. Update: Missing -e, thanks Your Mother. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
