Change permanently terminal encoding in windows 10

Question

When I type in the cmd chcp 65001" and then close it, when reopening it resets to the default "850".

I need to be able to run my C++ program with utf8 but I can't if it keeps reseting itself...

Solution

To use unicode, add the code chcp 65001

This will change the code page. It stays that way until you close the window.

If you want to have this always run, (not necessarily recommended, because unicode can sometimes break batches), you can add a reg key string (reg_sz) to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor and name it AutoRun. Change the value of it to chcp 65001. If you don't want to see the output message from the command, use @chcp 65001>nul instead.
