  • Windows build number: Version 10.0.17134.165

  • What you're doing and what's happening:
    Under chcp 65001 (UTF-8)
    the Lucida Console font in cmd is unable to display Chinese Japanese and Korean characters after updating to 1803 version in semi-year channel:

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    Under MS-Mincho it works fine (but the font is ugly):

and under version 1709 (build 10.0.16299.492) it also worked fine:

I have different computers set in English, Japanese and Chinese language, they all behaved the same. Maybe I'll have to change some setting in the registry?

I am seeing the same behavior on Windows 1803. I'm using the NSimSun font for now, as it looks much better than MS-Mincho. My system locale and display language are both set to English (United States). In control panel -> region -> administrative -> change system locale I tried checking the box "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" but that did nothing.

This ask is specifically tagged against the Console and is largely resolved by @miniksa's new renderer, though that renderer won't be on by default in Console prior to 21H1 release (at the earliest).

Let's revisit for 21H1

I just found this issue by pure chance. This can be closed now that the duplicate issue #10472 has been fixed.
