Making Swedish characters show properly in Windows Command Prompt using Python in Notepad++
- by Alex
The title explains it well. I have set up Notepad++ to open the Python script in the command prompt when I press F8 but all Swedish characters looks messed up when opening in CMD but perfectly fine in e.g IDLE.
This simple example code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
print "åäö"
Looks like this.
As you can see the output of the batch file I use to open Python in cmd below shows the characters correctly but not the Python script above it. How do I fix this?
I open the file in cmd using this method
