I would like to echo the unicode character "é" in cmd via running bat file. I prepared a short script:

@echo off SET message=Gép3 echo %message% pause

how can I do that? Is there a possibility to put directly this letter into the code?

  • Press Alt + 232 on number pad number keys. Type charmap in Start Run dialog (Winkey + R). Select Dos Western Europe or whatever your region is. CMD use DOS character set. Commented Oct 27, 2016 at 9:32

Do this (both are important):

  • Use code page 65001 (UTF-8) chcp 65001
  • When you save your .bat file, use UTF-8

i. e. edit your example code in this way:

@echo off chcp 65001 SET message=Gép3 echo %message% pause

Again, it is important that you save your .bat file with encoding UTF-8

But that's unnecessary, and means it won't work on any other computer. Alt + 232 does what you want WITHOUT any changes to the environment.
