directory listing file does not show Greek names correctly

In command prompt:
List of directory eg dir *.* lists directory file names.
The greek file names are listed in Greek correctly. BUT when send dir listing to file eg dir *.* >c:\tmp\dirlst.txt and then openning the c:\tmp\dirlst.txt file [B]the file names in Greek are not displayed correctly

07/31/1997 11:37 PM -----> 10,752 §¨¦®œ ¨¦ ˜¨®œ ¦ in GR.doc file in c:\tmp\dirlst.txt file

Any idea on how to tackle with this? Thanks a lot

What language Windows 10 using?

Ah, thats because dirlist.txt was not created using unicode. You can use this to convert it to unicode:

CMD /U /C TYPE c:\tmp\dirlist.txt > dirlist2.txt

This should write the characters correctly into dirlist2.txt.

Thank you very much for your reply. I did it but it did not solve the problem. The answer was ???????? ?????? in GR.doc in the dirlst2.txt.
My desktop runs WIN10 ver 1909 (build 18363535

I have to add a few info concerning the installation of windows.
- Win10 were installed with English as installation language. Greek was added as second language later.
- when the prime language is English then even in command prompt the dir listing of a file with greek name is not displayed correctly but with garbage characters in name
- when primary language is defined Greek then the file name is correct in command prompt listing but not in the file produced by dir *.* >c:\tmp\dirlst.txt command

Open it with Notepad++ to see if its cause by encoding with Notepad.

What is you system locale set to?

For quick assess press WINDOWS + R and in the run command type intl.cpl ,1 and on the Administrative tab click on change system locale to see the current system locale.
