Q: how to print black charaters ascii in batch I would like to print an ascii in a batch file... I tried using this code:
    @echo off
>%temp%\temp.txt (
echo                                                                   
echo ███ ▀▄    ▄     ██      ▄   ████▄    ▄    ▄  █ ▄███▄      ▄  ████▄ 
echo █  █  █  █      █ █      █  █   █     █  █   █ █▀   ▀ ▀▄   █ █   █

echo                  ▀                                                
)
type %temp%\temp.txt
timeout 1 >nul
del %temp%\temp.txt
pause >nul

but I get this in output:
ECHO diattivato.
ÔûêÔûêÔûê ÔûÇÔûä    Ôûä     ÔûêÔûê      Ôûä   ÔûêÔûêÔûêÔûêÔûä    Ôûä    Ôûä  Ôûê ÔûäÔûêÔûêÔûêÔûä      Ôûä  ÔûêÔûêÔûêÔûêÔûä

                 ÔûÇ

I also tried to escape character whit this caracher before the text "^" but it's always the same...
Can someone help me fix this problem? 
I didn't find any other duplicateds of this question so I asked here...
.
Thanks, and have a good day.

A: The Windows Command Processor and batch files exist since quite some time long before UTF-8 encoding was introduced, so the support is far beyond granted.
Anyway, I finally found a way to display the text correctly – here it is:
@echo off
rem // Store current code page in a variable for later restore (optional):
for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%C in ('chcp') do set /A "$CP=%%C"
rem // Change code page to UTF-8 Unicode:
chcp 65001 > nul
rem // Write text into temporary file:
> "%TEMP%\temp.txt" (
    echo/                                                                   
    echo ███ ▀▄    ▄     ██      ▄   ████▄    ▄    ▄  █ ▄███▄      ▄  ████▄ 
    echo █  █  █  █      █ █      █  █   █     █  █   █ █▀   ▀ ▀▄   █ █   █ 
    echo █ ▀ ▄  ▀█       █▄▄█ ██   █ █   █ ██   █ ██▀▀█ ██▄▄     █ ▀  █   █ 
    echo █  ▄▀  █        █  █ █ █  █ ▀████ █ █  █ █   █ █▄   ▄▀ ▄ █   ▀████ 
    echo ███  ▄▀            █ █  █ █       █  █ █    █  ▀███▀  █   ▀▄       
    echo                   █  █   ██       █   ██   ▀           ▀           
    echo                  ▀                                                 
)
rem /* Open a new instance of the Command Processor; inside this,
rem    change code page to original IBM PC and type out the temporary file: */
cmd /C chcp 437 ^> nul ^& type "%TEMP%\temp.txt"
rem // Clean up temporary file:
del "%TEMP%\temp.txt"
rem // Restore original code page (optional):
chcp %$CP% > nul

Note that I tested it on a 64-bit Windows 7 (SP1) machine.

This is an alternative way that does not require a temporary file:
@echo off
rem // Store current code page in a variable for later restore (optional):
for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%C in ('chcp') do set /A "$CP=%%C"
rem // Change code page to UTF-8 Unicode:
chcp 65001 > nul
rem // Provide text in pseudo-comments (invalid labels):
::::                                                                    
:::: ███ ▀▄    ▄     ██      ▄   ████▄    ▄    ▄  █ ▄███▄      ▄  ████▄ 
:::: █  █  █  █      █ █      █  █   █     █  █   █ █▀   ▀ ▀▄   █ █   █ 
:::: █ ▀ ▄  ▀█       █▄▄█ ██   █ █   █ ██   █ ██▀▀█ ██▄▄     █ ▀  █   █ 
:::: █  ▄▀  █        █  █ █ █  █ ▀████ █ █  █ █   █ █▄   ▄▀ ▄ █   ▀████ 
:::: ███  ▄▀            █ █  █ █       █  █ █    █  ▀███▀  █   ▀▄       
::::                   █  █   ██       █   ██   ▀           ▀           
::::                  ▀                                                 
rem /* Instantiate a `for /F` loop, which opens a new Command Processor instance;
rem    inside this, change code page to original IBM PC, use `findstr` to extract

for /F "delims=:" %%T in ('chcp 437 ^> nul ^& findstr "^::::" "%~f0"') do echo(%%T
rem // Restore original code page (optional):
chcp %$CP% > nul


I have to admit that I sadly do not (yet) have an idea why another instance of cmd is needed.

A: Echo ±²³ in notepad prints ▒▓│. Enter the code in notepad RIGHT_ALT+0177 which shows ANSI ± and prints as OEM ▒. Note: The leading zero is important. 
Alt+177 will enter a ANSI/Unicode conversion
 of the OEM character 177 which is Unicode 9618 in Unicode apps like notepad and code 166 in an ANSI app while Alt+0177 will enter the ANSI character 177.
You could also use Unicode. chcp 65001 turns on UTF8 mode and 9618 will display correctly.
This is the character chart showing what code to enter in notepad (ANSI) and what you'll see in CMD (OEM). 
Most codepoints 0-31 require a special console mode to display characters.
