Ensuring UTF-8 Encoding in SQLcl When Opened from SQL Developer for VSCode

jonasdenadaiMar 3 2025

I use UTF-8 because I work with Portuguese (pt-BR). How can I open SQLcl from the SQL Developer for VSCode deopdown menu with the correct UTF-8 charset?

When I open it through the terminal, I run chcp 65001, and the charset is set correctly when executing SQL commands. However, if I open SQLcl from the connection dropdown menu or the + button, the SQLcl prompt does not load the correct charset.

I'm using Windows 11.
