Re: bad display of output utf-8 chars

It seems that Vim doesn't recognise the charset in which Robocopy
wrote its output. For instance, it seems that the letter é (small
latin letter e with acute) is represented by 0x82 while in Latin1 it
would be 0xE9 (and therefore in Unicode it would be codepoint U+00E9,
represented in UTF-16le as E9 00 or in UTF-8 as C3 A9).

Can you find out which code page is set in your locale (or "country
parameters" or whatever Windows calls it)? For instance, if it is
(let's say) code page 850, you can maybe open the file in Vim by means
of the command

:view ++enc=cp850 filename.txt " readonly
or
:e ++enc=cp850 filename.txt " read-write

replacing of course "filename.txt" by the actual name (and path, if
necessary) of the file. Similarly with another value after =cp if it
is another code page.

See ":help ++opt" for details.


Best regards,
Tony.
