Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\starttext
\startluacode
io.write(' Name? ')
document.name = io.read() or ''
\stopluacode
\cldcontext{document.name} is the name.
\stoptext

I’m using current latest (ConTeXt MkIV 2020.11.08 12:42).
I’m not sure what I am missing or whether I have hit a bug.
This has been discussed before I think. It has to do with how you
configured your system (what encoding) and how consisteltly you take
that into account. If you have some mixed setup, just don't use non-ascii.
Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I use chcp 65001. I have no problem displaying UTF-8 messages and
passing arguments with UTF-8 characters.
Anyway, in LMTX all file, commandline and systemn operations are utf 8
and on windows get translated into wide system calls so there it should
work ok if you use utf8.
Well, according to https://ss64.com/nt/cmd.html the console uses
UTF-16LE. Or UCS-2 (as described in
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-unicode-and-utf-8-output-text-buffer/#console-built-in-a-pre-unicode-dawn).
Since console input is UTF-16LE, I guess I may need something in Lua
similar to 'regimes.translate(str, "utf16le")'.
the console uses whatever code page you have configured and it also
relates to the code page used for filenames .. the 16 bit values are
used deep down and what you use gets translated into that (often folks
still use some 8 bit code page so that then gets mapped) .. there is no
way the system can know if what you provide is as it's bytes in whatever
encoding used
so, you need to look what your system is configured for
(this is independent of the output to the console which is what the
65001 does)
