the 'dir' command in Win cmd works in Unicode regardless the code page;it's one of those Windows quirks.Go ahead change the code page to eg Cyrillic and try it out,you'll get the same result
In cp950: dir/b It shows the files with Unicode char correctly. However, dir/b > list.txt the content inside list turns into "????"
Is list.txt saved as ANSI (default)?.
Save list.txt as Unicode and try again
In cp65001: dir/b It shows the files with monster char. However, dir/b > list.txt gives the correct list.
I guess cp65001 sets the file i/o to Unicode,that is why you see list.txt with correct list
what is a monster char?
maybe a font issue? what font are you using, Lucida Console?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
