Windows 10: Invalid rendering of ඍ as පෘ in Windows 10 notepad (console font)

hi, I am a windows 10 user and I am using sinhala text with Windows 10. I just found out that ඍ character which is properly rendered in browser is copied to windows notepad is rendered as පෘ in standard console font. When I use "iskolapotha" sinhala unicode font it properly displays ඍ but in the standard console font it displays as පෘ. This is a problem when we cannot change the console font of certain applications. Do we have a solution to this problem ?

Notepad default font

I changed my font in notepad and now I am trying to make a .vbs script and when I open it, it says there is invalid characters and i thing it has to do with the fact I changed my font. I cant find anything on what the default font it so I turned to the
microsoft community. Can someone tell me the default font and size?

 

Unicode .TTF Monospaced Fonts Don't render correctly on most Windows Textbox or Edit Control, Text Editors in Windows 10

Using this file: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt and these Unicode C0 Control Special characters = "". Monospace fonts used : DejaVu Sans Mono FreeMono Inconsolata Everson Mono Source Code Pro Fira Mono TerminalVector---Mostly
symbols monospaced Problem: If I used any Monospaced Fonts in the Notepad, Wordpad, or most Windows Edit Control (Text box) or Text Editors that use this control, Like MS Visual Studio. The fonts all seem and appear to change but the characters can't be represented
properly and a square box appears for many characters, the actual font barely changes in form specially for fonts that use symbols instead of characters. I believe the Native windows monospaced family of font like the Consolas and Courier New are being used
as legacy fall-back fonts inadvertently and not letting the actual fonts in-use function properly. I'm Using Windows 10 Version 10.0.14393 Exception: If I used 3rd party tools that have there own Text Editor component and there dedicated rendering engine for
text viewing all the fonts work properly in those dedicated separate tools but not for the Windows Edit Control dependant tools and GDI based Text rendering. For Example: Notepad++ or any scintilla based editor works and so does ErgoEmacs, web browsers like
Chrome, Firefox(an older version) and a Terminal emulation tool called Mintty, along with Putty all render the fonts properly. It also functions properly when a plain unicode font or a non-monospaced font is used. But the problem is specifically with monospace
fonts. I was able to reproduce the problem on a fresh reinstall of windows. Please let me know If you can help, Thanks

 

HI and welcome.

Notepad is very basic it does not have any text formatting at all. I think a better alternative would be to use Notepad++

 

I tried Notepad++ also problem remains the same. I think it is something to do with Windows 10 because Windows 7 notepad and notepad++ does not have this issue.
