My win10 can display Chinese characters in browser and in Explorer and in all programs, including VS but I keep coming over some files that display only ASCII garbage. Like I open zip file that shows Chinese symbols but inside, even still in the archive rar program, I see folders with this garbage and it extracts like that too. What gives?
Text files with this garbage name are ok inside, just the title is all a mess.
I am aware that is has to do with encoding types (all that utf-8 talk and such stuff) but really don't know pretty well anything about it.
Is there some windows system setting to fix this? I tried to search but any results are geeky talk that don't even quite deal with the same thing.
