Characters Incorrectly Displayed on Windows Systems

The Windows® display language, user locale, and system locale settings must all have the same value on Microsoft® Windows platforms. If these values are not the same, you might see garbled text or incorrect characters. For instructions on how to change the Windows display language, user locale, and system locale settings, refer to your Windows operating system documentation. After changing these settings, restart your system.

On Windows Server 2019, you must also set the machine-wide system encoding to UTF-8 using the Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support option to avoid garbled text. For all other supported versions of Windows, this option is optional.
