Hi, I have been enjoying some of the many Unicode characters available in Julia ( https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/unicode-input/ ), however, found that some of them do not display in the REPL in Windows. Specifically found the issue with some of the \mscr & \mit characters. Note I have be…

Seems like you might need to switch to fonts that have these characters.

For the Julia and JuliaPro installations on windows, is there any way to create the shortcut to the console to use a font with better unicode support? This would make it a lot easier for users, since changing fonts is not something most windows users know how to do. Installing an appropriate font …

A longstanding issue has been the desire to ship Julia with a better console on Windows: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/7267 … https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/12879 ran into some technical issues, but maybe the situation has improved?

Minnty or Cmder or something would be nice, but low priority compared to other enhancements to the Julia environment. But just changing the font to a more unicode friendly one would be an improvement as a stop-gap.

Thanks for the replies! Very likely I am missing something but I did install the DejaVu font family and set the terminal to use that. In addition I tried the example with ConEmu with UTF-8 encoding with the same result. Because the character displays correctly in the terminal when pasted but not wh…

I can replicate this is both Juno and VSCode. Both have DejaVu Sans Mono set as the font in both the editor and console. \mscrP displays fine in the editor, but not in the console, nor in the REPL. In all cases, Julia is running in PowerShell on Windows 10. println("𝒜, ℬ, 𝒞, 𝒟, ℰ, ℱ, 𝒢, ℋ, ℐ, 𝒥, 𝒦,…

an update: I have tried with Cmder & Mintty. Cmder also do not display all the fonts correctly (fonts based on Conemu I believe). The fonts do work by installing Cygwin & Mintty. However, it does not seem to be possible to use Mintty as an integrated terminal within VScode (only an external termina…

There is a career at CSI waiting for you… :+1:

OK, back from holiday, so I had time to run a little test. Turns out it is a bit deeper. If I run Julia inside Git Bash, with the same font, all of \scrA to \scrZ actually display just fine. Running Julia inside PowerShell or the Windows console still displays placeholders instead, even though the c…
