There are few places on the web that report a strange appearance of 㰡祳汭湩㹫 characters when working with Cygwin
How do I execute autoconf on Windows as installed with Cygwin?

My problem, which is a strange appearance of 㰡祳汭湩㹫/cygdrive/c/Admin in a file
It looks like C: somehow got transformed into this garbage.
Anyone understands what the characters, or the bytes producing those characters, stand for, and how they are produced?

I was working on a Ruby program and had issues that I finally found out were caused by the default encoding in Windows 10 terminal, which apparently is CP850, an encoding so old it doesn't even include the € symbol. I read that, of course, if I try to change this other programs around the computer will give issues.
Wikipedia indicates that CP850 has theorically been "largely replaced" by Windows-1252 and, later, Unicode, and yet it's here, right in the OS's terminal.
Picture attached as proof. It's in italian language but you'll see it under "Tabella codici corrente", aka "Current code table".
How's that possible?
This is historical.
DOS had cp437, and later cp850 (and e.g. also cp852) as standard code page.
Terminal in Windows was also known as "DOS prompt": so a way to run DOS programs in Windows, so they keep the code page of DOS. Microsoft dislikes non-backward compatible changes, so your DOS program should works also on Windows terminal without problem.
Windows-1252, as the name stress it out, was done for Windows, so no compatibility problem, and for Windows programs, but so, in order to gain graphical interface market, but keeping compatibility with many business applications, Microsoft maintained two different code page.
I want a vim-like text editor to send code to REPLs including iPython in Windows. In Linux SLIMUX is perfect. (I use WSL often, but sometimes it's inconvenient.)
Let's start with ATOM's platformio-ide-terminal package. Here's the code I send:
and here's what get's sent to the iPython REPL running in Powershell:
For ordinary Python it does not do that; it works fine.
Let's go to NeoVim's iron.nvim, where things are even worse for iPython when sending a selection (<Plug>(iron-send-motion)):
In addition to adding extra characters, the iron.nvim send-selection command fails to even execute the command (an issue logged on Github). The just sits in the REPL until you switch vim windows, go into insert mode, and press enter. While it will not add extra characters to ordinary Python, it will still not execute it (this could be a separate issue).
What's going on with iPython and these extra characters? Is there any way to fix it? Why, on Windows, is it so difficult to send code from a text editor to an arbitrary REPL?
This post on the emacs stack exchange at least has a partial answer: At Version 5, iPython got a "new terminal interface" that was incompatible with Emacs' inferior shells. It makes sense that it would give Atom's and iron.nvim's a hard time as well.
For Atom, starting the shell with ipython --simple-prompt completely solves the problem. For iron.nvim, it at least gets rid of the bad characters. In iron.nvim, I've traded bad characters for the iPython multiline paste loosing its newlines, but that seems out of scope for this question.
I just found out about DrMemory, which seems like an amazing debugging tool, if somewhat complex at first glance.
When I run it under Delphi with all debug options I can find, it stills says it cannot find line numbers and instead displays hex offsets into the executable.
Is there a way to have Delphi 10+ generate what DrMemory needs to provide line numbers?
Here's a link to DrMemory: http://www.drmemory.org/
Thanks!
What methods are there to move the cursor in a command line app?
I've tried simpler things, such as using "\b", but that didn't work:
print("test\ba");
I expected the output tesa but I get testa (\b was ignored).
Update
Regarding (2), that was the output in the webstorm IDE, however it worked fine in the normal OS X Terminal.
On Linux or OSX you can use ANSI sequences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code. On Windows you are pretty much out of luck AFAIK. Take a look at https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/ansicolor for an example how to use ANSI codes.

I'm using P4COM to communicate with our perforce server. I have written an little utility to simplify our QA of what files have changed from one release to another. I have been using the P4COM interface from Delphi. So far so good.
I though it might be nice to allow users to view the diff between the two versions of the file from within my little utility rather than going back to p4v. So I print (get) the files at each revision using p4COM and the following command
print -o "E:\Development\TempProjects\p4Changes\temp\File_dispatch.pas#25" "//depot/mydepotpath/File_dispatch.pas"#25
and
print -o "E:\Development\TempProjects\p4Changes\temp\File_dispatch.pas#26" "//depot/mydepotpath/File_dispatch.pas"#26
However when I do this from my app using P4COM I seem to get random files (and they appear to be deleted ones). If I run the exact same command from the command line I get perfect results. Running both of these does return a file and correctly dumps it to disk where I want it, its just not the file I've asked for.
Any ideas?
Could it be a backslash issue in the command string? This would work fine at the command line, but a single backslash may be being interpreted as an escape code by whatever language compiler you are using (if C or C++, then this will definitely cause a problem, and that maybe happening under the hood on the P4COM side).
Try using double backslashes and see if that fixes it.
You're probably better of asking this to Perforce support itself, as this sounds like a bug in their software.
As a sidenote : Why do you use p4v? (I hugely prefer p4win myself)
