How do I view unicode characters on command prompt

I read this post on superuser on how to view UTF-8 characters on command prompt in windows. I tried the steps in the answer which were :

1. Start -> Run -> regedit
2. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\Autorun]
3. Change the value to chcp 65001

I reach Command Processor but then I do not see Autorun .
I have added a screenshot of that :

What do I do now ? The font I have selected for cmd is Lucida Console. I want to see the Unicode characters on the command prompt. Like I have to test some programs that contains Urdu text. I get question marks or some other sort of text in place of the original one.

Note: I am using a 32-bit OS

Solution 1:

The accepted answer you quoted has an error: the code page number for UTF-8 in Windows is 65001, not 6500. You should test things first by just setting chcp 65001 in the console window; the question cited is just about making this setting the default by making Windows execute it automatically.

To see Urdu text, you need to select a font that contains the Arabic letters used in Urdu. Lucida Console does not contain Arabic letters. I would expect that checking for font support to the letter PEH is suitable. Among the alternatives that are commonly available, Courier New is the only monospace font – but Arabic writing isn’t that suitable for monospace rendering, so consider using e.g. Arial, unless you have a special reason to use a monospace font.

Solution 2:

There is a better answer on same page by Steven Penny:

REG ADD HKCU\Console /v CodePage /t REG_DWORD /d 0xfde9

just execute above code from anywhere in windows(for example in cmd or in run) just for one time and your code-page on cmd will be changed to 65001 forever.
