How to print special characters by CMD when formatting coins?

A few days ago I did an exercise to format coins and used the following code for this:

String us, china, france;
us = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US).format(payment);
china = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.CHINA).format(payment);
france = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.FRANCE).format(payment);

In the command prompt should come out something like this:

US: $12,324.13
China: ￥12,324.13
France: 12 324,13 €

But something like that came out:

US: $12,324.13
China: ?12,324.13
France: 12▒324,13 ▒

I know the code is correct, because it worked, but it is not displayed in the right way. How do I so that whenever I need to run special characters by CMD they are displayed correctly?

    I believe this problem is not of java, but of the encoding accepted by the prompt

  • I understand, but there is something that can be done to fix it, @Articuno?

The most reliable would be using the GUI. Minimum example:

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new String[] {us, china, france});

In the CMD you will not be able to display all symbols correctly as it basically has no support for Unicode. With

> CHCP 1252

will be able to show the € (Euro) but probably not the ￥ (\uFFE5, Yen). Maybe this page about CHCP help more...

Stackoverflow English has this question with some answers that may help.

  • I tried your suggestion to use Joptionpane and it worked too. I will use it when I need to run cmd/terminal! Thank you very much! ^_^
