Completion Menu Encoding

• PSCompletions uses the encoding returned by $PSCompletions.menu.encoding to load and render the completion menu.
• In most cases, it automatically selects a suitable locale-based encoding.
• You can run the following command to check which encoding is currently used by the menu:

  $PSCompletions.menu.encoding

---

• If the following setting is enabled:

  1. Open Control Panel > Region > Administrative
  2. Click Change system locale...
  3. Check Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support

• Then $PSCompletions.menu.encoding will obtain a unified UTF-8 encoding.

• However, in Windows Terminal, using UTF-8 may cause Chinese characters in the completion menu to display incorrectly.

• In this case, you need to manually set the encoding used by the completion menu.

• For example, for Simplified Chinese, you can use code page 936 to obtain a suitable encoding:

  Import-Module PSCompletions
  $PSCompletions.menu.encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding(936)
