Windows 10: Windows is replacing some Portuguese characters in my browser with apparently Russian...

Windows is replacing some Portuguese characters in my browser with apparently Russian characters. I've tried changing the language and region settings to portuguese, both in chrome and windows and still nothing changed. I've tried changing the font in chrome and also nothing. Same happens when I use firefox so I suppose its a windows issue. How can I fix this? Thanks

Why does Windows DIR command produce ??? characters instead of Russian alphabet?

On a Windows 10 box, via command line, I run this command:

C:\Users\idiot\Music>dir /a:d /s /b >> tom-music-2016-july.txt

The purpose is to list all directories. But I notice that directories with non-Roman letters in the name will print ????? instead of the Russian or Chinese characters. Why?

Initially I thought that the problem was with system fonts. (I don't have a Russian language pack installed). But I can rename files to Russian file names in Win Explorer. Importantly, when I run the DIR command in the window (without piping it to an output file), I can clearly see Russian characters.

That implies to me that the problem is either with the command which pipes something to a file or the Windows text editor which is trying to read the output.

I tried to open the file in 2 separate text editors and even in a web browser, but I see question mark characters regardless.

Can anybody suggest a cause of this problem and a possible solution?

Am I correct in assuming that I will not need to do any processing on the files or directories themselves? Thanks.

Postscript: I've particularly puzzled about why the Russian characters render fine in the console window but when it's piped to a file, I see the question marks.

Russian characters in programs installed. Would like a second opinion

I'm running Windows 10 on Bootcamp. THis is a work computer. So almost all program installed are work related. So while installing one of these programs, I remember a prompt window saying that i needed to install .NET package. Without hesitating, i agreed. Now while looking through Add/Remove program, I noticed this in the list.





It does not sit well with me seeing Russian characters on a normal windows installation. Do i Uninstall this and download the .NET package from elsewhere? Or is this normal ?

Any info appreciated. Thank you.
