And what is the lowest 'AUTOS' window at bottom of IDE, it does show the Chinese text.
At least get some feedback there if debugging. Worried if I close that, I will never get it back as I don't know what it's called.

I think it makes it harder to debug.

Still like this from 2020
github.com

debugger cannot show chinese characters from a string variable · Issue #5712 · microsoft/vscode-cpptools

#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; string replace(string line, string o, string n) { auto i = line.find(o); if (i != string::npos) { return line.replace(i, o.length(), n); } return line;...

The debugger can only handle ASCII characters at the moment, if you enable engine logging. You can see that we are printing the unicode values instead of the actual UTF-8 reprensentation.

I'm not able to reproduce what you're seeing, but try adding a Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 before your WriteLines.

Edit: Also check which font you're using for the output window : Tools | Options | Environment | Fonts and Colors. Show settings for : Output Window. I don't seem to have issues with Consolas or Cascadia Code.

What does this advice have to do with Visual Studio? This question is whether an app is written to support UTF-8 characters in all dialogs

What is your advice, instead of undermining my suggestion.

I'm not a dev, but my work experience teaches me this is probably a coding or tools-related problem. And resetting part of Windows isn't the first step to fix it.

Replying to most threads with a pre-posted video can be a disservice. What a few folks forget about the 80/20 rule -- is when to recognize a problem falls into the 20% that doesn't apply. If that happens, it's better to stay on the sideline and let someone else (like a @pseymour) lead the way.

I would say mind your own business and let us through a few ideas as well i'm a developer but never used Visual Studio, so my next suggestion will be to clean font cache. Also i do what needed to resolve the problem at hand including videos, who are you to tell me what i should or not do.

Tried the line here and I get an exception when it runs

System.IO.IOException
HResult=0x80070006
Message=The handle is invalid.

Source=<Cannot evaluate the exception source>
StackTrace:
<Cannot evaluate the exception stack trace>

Tried switching font for output window to various fonts, and still shows ???????? in that particular window
It was set to Consolas. Also tried Lucida Sans Unicode. Issue is only in the output window.

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
Dim i, j As Integer
Dim LItem As ListViewItem
For i = 0 To ListView1.Items.Count - 1
LItem = ListView1.Items(i) 'first column, same as subitems(0)
Console.WriteLine(LItem.Text)

For j = 0 To LItem.SubItems.Count - 1
'Console.WriteLine(" " & ListView1.Columns(0).Text & " " & LItem.SubItems(0).Text)
Console.WriteLine(" " & LItem.SubItems(0).Text & " " & LItem.SubItems(1).Text & " " & LItem.SubItems(2).Text & " " & LItem.SubItems(3).Text)

Hmmm well it’s a little odd anyway that you’re using the Console class to write to the Output window. Is the source something you can send me so I don’t have to try to simulate it?

I am a little confused here, or else I am not reading things right.

Do you actually want the Chinese characters? Or not?

It's a little unclear from your post.

I would like to see the Chinese chars in the output debug immediate window, yes.
Makes it more consistent with debugging to see the output there when your used to seeing it there.

One of the reasons I wanted to convert a vb6 project was for the unicode ability in vbnet.

China chars show up in all the other windows, why not that one?

What do people of other countries do, when debugging, in their char sets.
see ??????????

Imagine an Indian programmer expecting to see Hindi chars and only gets ?????? marks.

I use the debugging window constantly when programming.

I have been using vs2008 and vs2022.
And originally wrote that in vs2008.
Something about console versus debug in 2008 may have caused me to use console.writeline.
I am pretty new to VS net , and am used to debug.print in vb6. Maybe I thought was not a significant diff between them.
And I saw examples online of using console.write
