Windows — Fix Garbled Characters in PowerShell
On Windows, PowerShell may display box-drawing characters (─, —) as garbled text like ΓöÇ.
This is a UTF-8 encoding issue, not a bug in git-recall.
Quick Fix (current session only)
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
git-recall --week
Permanent Fix
# open your PowerShell profile
notepad $PROFILE
# add this line and save
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
Restart PowerShell and git-recall will render correctly from now on.
Best Fix — Use Windows Terminal
Install Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store — full Unicode support out of the box, no configuration needed.
