I face similar issue but testing using Windows 10 1507 show no issue: http://image.prntscr.com/image/5fabf504d9ff4162b18c72fee391520a.png


Adding UTF-8 into Windows Console (CMD) is not an easy task because:

As Chip said, UTF-16 is rather baked into the stuff we do. The console host does use UTF-16 somewhere in there. :P We just have the matter of dealing with code pages throughout the history of computing existence that causes us heartburn every time we think about how to fix this. :( It’s definitely something that we would like to look into on our backlog.

This is not WeiDU, it's Windows. Install the mod from the command line and redirect (>) the command output to some file. No strings are changed.

I found a strange encoding issue for text displayed during installation in the text console. WeiDU appears to switch character encoding from OEM 850 to Windows-1252.

A test mod to demonstrate: TestEncoding.zip (Screenshot)

The test mod includes a single traified line that contains the special character 'Æ' in both OEM 850 and Windows-1252 encoding.

Text in component name is initially displayed in OEM 850 (expected), but subsequent copies of the same line are displayed in Windows-1252 encoding if you install the component (unexpected). Encoding stays in OEM 850 if you choose not to install the component.

(Tested on Windows 7 with western regional settings.)
