This code: ( Note, aaa.test is not existed )

private import std.file;

void main()
{
read("aaa.test");
}

with the following error message:

F:\d\hdk>dmd test1.d
C:\Dmd\Bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe test1,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

F:\d\hdk>test1
Error: aaa.test: 系統?¾ä??°æ?定ç?檔æ???

I cannot read the error message at all...I think it should be English..but why it shows wierd characters??

Thanks..^_^

The character encoding is UTF8 for sure, but what the characters are is a different story.

std.file will append the error message returned by Windows.  What language is Windows set to use?

In my default Console Mode(MSDos Box that is) it's set to codepage 950, but I cannot find a setting to make it UTF-8. And if I didn't remember wrong, the English charaters in ANSI should be the same as UTF-8, I am not sure why it shows strange characters that doesn't seem to be English..

Thanks for the answer ^_^.

'chcp 65001' for UTF-8 output in the command console and use Lucida Console as the raster font to display some Unicode characters.

How do you change the code page for the command line interface (dos box)?
