Working with batch files, you have to save them in OEM encoding. Bat files are legacy format from DOS, still uses OEM encoding.
Older versions of PSPad have a bug with OEM characters save (viz http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,61219 ), now fixed (since build 2656 (viz http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,64691 )). ANSI encodings don't contain pseudographic characters, being oriented to _G_UI with normal _graphics_. When you try save a file with pseudographics to ANSI, Windows replaces all non-ANSI characters. This is default system behavior. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,65340,66171> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
