[FIXED] how to print Arabic text correctly with Java

Issue

I try to print Arabic text using Java, like these:

 System.out.println("طباعة نص باللغة العربية");

 ╪╚╟┌╔ غ╒ ╚╟طط█╔ ╟ط┌╤╚و╔

The purpose is to print the text correctly. So, how can I print the string or content of text correctly in its original form? like:

Solution

The answers and comments above have pointed out that this may be related to the terminal encoding and file encoding format, and have given a valid solution.

Here are some of my suggestions that may be useful to you：

Code Runner

1. Install the Code Runner extension

2. Use Run Code option to run the code

   

3. Output the results in the OUTPUT panel

   

launch.json

1. Configure launch.json as follows

        // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
        // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
        // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
        "version": "0.2.0",
        "configurations": [
            {
                "type": "java",
                "name": "Launch Current File",
                "request": "launch",
                "mainClass": "${file}",
                "console": "internalConsole"
            },
   
        ]
    }
   

2. Start debugging in the Run and Debug window

   

3. Debug results are displayed in the DEBUG CONSOLE panel
