Whenever I try to print out any Hindi characters in the Visual Studio Code Terminal via System.out.println(वा);, it directly prints out a ?? instead of the proper character. BTW I am using Windows 10.

Note that this problem isn't only exclusive to Hindi characters. If I try to print "₉" it also gives me a ?.

I have tried many things:

1. Checked my font - it is Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace, which should support UTF-8?

2. When I do chcp it displays: Active code page: 65001

3. I added json code in the settings that automatically makes the Active

4. Code Page equal to 65001 whenever I open a terminal

5. Set windows Locale to support UTF-8.

6. Uninstalled and Installed Visual Studio Code.

7. When I ran the code in PYTHON, it correctly displayed the hindi characters.

8. When I ran the code in a different IDE called Eclipse IDE, it displayed the hindi characters.

9. I am my whits end and I have seemed to try everything. Any help very much appreciated - I have been on this simple issue for 5 hours.
