Environment

Platform ServicePack Version VersionString

Win32NT 10.0.18363.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0

Also to cmd.exe

Steps to reproduce

In simpled chinese Environmet;
(Run tomcat with jdk 8);
Run file "startup.bat" in directory "apache-tomcat-8.5.46\bin";
A started tomcat window with messy code.

Expected behavior

In started tomcat window the word "info" shoud be printed as "信息" in Simple Chinese Edition；

Actual behavior

In started tomcat window the word "info" is actually printed as messy code"淇℃伅";

Suggested.

This issue is frequently discussed in Chinese forum.

When using comand "Start" to start a new cmd window, the new one is expected to inherit the "Active code Page " from the former one.
Also, the started cmd is expected show in "Windows Terminal" other than a new "cmd" window.

We are not planning to change start to pass the codepage on to the new process. Sorry. The console window inherits the active codepage on the system, which should be configured correctly for the display of the system's default language.

@eryksun commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2020):

The console codepage can be customized based on the initial window title that's set by lpTitle in the process STARTUPINFO. Create a subkey for the initial window title that contains the "CodePage" value that you want. For example, if the title is "Simple Chinese":

reg add "HKCU\Console\Simple Chinese" /v CodePage /d 936 /t REG_DWORD

You can pass the title to use as the first quoted string in the start command. For example:

start "Simple Chinese"

This will open a new instance of cmd.exe that's attached to a new console session in which the active codepage is 936. The "Properties" dialog in this case will persist most settings in the "Simple Chinese" registry key. Use the "Defaults" dialog to modify the default settings for all console sessions, which are persisted in the root key "HKCU\Console".

Getting it to allocate the console session within a Windows Terminal session is a separate problem.

@eryksun I was sure that we had support for this but when I went looking through our code I just couldn’t find it. Thanks.
