Some people have found ways to hack around this, but they simulate compliance for a certain codepage rather than implement UTF-8 globally. <https://www.curlybrace.com/words/2014/10/03/windows-console-and-doublemulti-byte-character-set/> "The Windows Console doesn’t support Unicode." <https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/c42a0300-1803-475d-9438-d39e6672cc69/unicode-characters-in-powershell> Simon. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
