I am making a batch file that requires support for the different regions:

So, I used the chcp command to force the batch script to run in codepage 950(that's zh-HK).

However, I ran into an issue. When I run the batch file, the chcp command changes the font, and causes my batch script to show incorrect results.

How do I chcp to 950, without changing the font?

Are you shure your choosen font supports the glyphs/code points required for code page 950? And with what encoding did you save the batch? – LotPings Jul 22 '17 at 12:36
@LotPings Courier New may not support the UTF-8 full block :(. And I save the script with UTF-8 – stevefestl Jul 22 '17 at 12:37
May be time to switch to PowerShell supporting UTF16 (like windows does internal) but also no direct UTF8 support. – LotPings Jul 22 '17 at 12:44
@LotPings Gaw :/ Gotta rewrite the entire script.. It's very long – stevefestl Jul 22 '17 at 12:46
