Postgres PSQL displays invalid chars in windows cmd

Question

I'm using windows 10 - and when I run PSQL from the cmd I'm getting invalid chars:

My guess is that it's trying to write Hebrew to the command line.

In regional settings of my windows 10 - the Location is set to "United States" the Formats are set to "Hebrew Israel" and the default language for non unicode applications is set to "Hebrew Israel"

How do I get postgres to play nice with this setup?

Answer 1

Follow the instructions from the psql documentation , translated to Hebrew.

Before starting psql ,

• set the font to “Lucida Console”

• change the encoding with chcp 1255 .
