The bug
Using cyrillic characters and potentially more (Example: тест) on a Minecraft dedicated server running on Windows will:
Not display the characters but instead just ???? in cmd
⚠️ Save only question marks (????) to the
latest.logfile
Server log demonstration (should be тест):
[media]Screenshot:
[media]Reproduction steps
Start a Minecraft server
Use
/say тестanywhere you want (ingame, cmd console, GUI console)Look into the
latest.logfile and in the cmd output
❌ Result: Only questionmarks
Tests
"Typed in" is always where the /say command was used. The other columns detail the outputs that I get in the different areas.
No changes, Windows 10 1909 install with German locale:
Typed in | CMD/Powershell | Server GUI | latest.log |
|---|---|---|---|
cmd | ???? | ???? | ???? |
Server GUI | ???? | тест | ???? |
MC Client | ???? | тест | ???? |
-
Using either one of the following approaches results in the text being written fine to the .log files, but still displayed incorrect in cmd.
Fixing the saving to file should be prioritized
Using Launch parameters:
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
Using a custom
log4j2.xmlwith what is described here.
Typed in | CMD/Powershell | Server GUI | latest.log |
|---|---|---|---|
cmd | ???? | ???? | ???? |
Server GUI | ÐéðÁÐüÐé | тест | тест |
MC Client | ÐéðÁÐüÐé | тест | тест |

Still Confirmed for 1.19.2
Reproduction steps:
1. Run the server and wait for it to load
2. run this command in the console window: "/say 这种情况是油泵故障灯，检查一下油泵插头是否接虚，然后查一下油泵内管道压力是否符合正常值。"
3. Observe that the console window displays correctly, while latest.log is incorrect. Piping stdout from the server into another application also shows ?????

My Windows system use GB18030, so I have to use a "GB18030 to UTF-8" program and paste it to cmd.
[media]Maybe it's the same problem.
