Wrong encoding in VS output log

Hi ,

I’m sorry to report that we investigated the same issue before in this bug:

UE-14726 - Visual studio output log is garbled when running in non-ASCII language

and found that it is a bug with the way the debug window in Visual Studio handles non-ASCII text. Here’s a comment from our engineer:

Unfortunately, this seems to be a
known limitation, beyond our control:

Bing

OutputDebugStringA function (debugapi.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn

“OutputDebugStringW converts the
specified string based on the current
system locale information and passes
it to OutputDebugStringA to be
displayed. As a result, some Unicode
characters may not be displayed
correctly.”

Thanks for reporting the issue, and sorry I couldn’t have better news for you.
