Here's a little hint on how to configure your Windows 10/11 for boxes.<!--break-->
|
|
|
|
Out of the box, some Windows installations are not properly configured to support Unicode in their terminals.
|
|
Full UTF-8 support must sometimes be explicitly enabled.
|
|
|
|
1. Press <kbd>Windows</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd>, type `control`, and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> in order to call up the control
|
|
panel.
|
|
2. "Clock and Region" → "Region" → *Administrative* Tab → **Change System Locale**
|
|
3. Enable the checkbox "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support". The setting for "Current system
|
|
locale" does not matter.

|
|
The above is written for Windows 10, but it should be roughly the same on Windows 11.
|
|
|
|
After that, enjoy fine Unicode display even in a regular CMD shell:
|
|
|
|
