What build version of Windows 10 are you using?

They made improvements in 1809: Windows Command-Line: Unicode and UTF-8 Output Text Buffer

Hi LeeSeenLi.

Thank you for your reply.

I have created a Hyper-v virtual machine and installed Windows 10 1809.

I tried command Write-Host "𠮷" in PowerShell but I am unable to paste the character to PowerShell.

PowerShell output a "?" when I paste the character .

Hi heywap,

Thanks for your reply.

I suggest you use PowerShell Ise to output "𠮷".

If you want to input Chinese character in PowerShell, you need to change the font to "SimSun-ExtB". But after I test it in PowerShell, "𠮷" also can't output correctly.

Please use PowerShell ISE to output it.
