Windows CLI does not showup correct special chars like:

error on cli special chars not correct

It's an issue with CMD reading ANSI as Unicode and not displaying colour info correctly. You can fix this by making a registry change, which will work in all Windows 10 versions later than build 16257 (released in August 2017):

Open start menu and search for Registry Editor Navigate to (and select the folder) "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console" Ensure your view matches the picture! Go to Edit > New >DWORD (32-bit) value Name it "VirtualTerminalLevel" Right click the entry you just made and enter the value: 00000001

Next time you launch CMD it'll be fine!
