Re: bad display of output utf-8 chars

Hello Ni Va,

As Tony said, "letter é (small latin letter e with acute) is represented
by 0x82" , so it is code page 850

I dont use Windows, but by googling, I found that you can open a command
terminal and use 'chcp' command to know which code page is set.

Then, you can try 'chcp 850', or 'chcp 1252', then use a command like
'gvim <your file>' if you can redirect your robocopy output to <your file>
