As it happens, I only noticed recently that the same can be done from JScript by explicitly using the GetStandardStream(1, true) instead of Echo - see my ' This allowed redirection to work, but (surprisingly) the output is _always_ Unicode, even at a 'cmd /a' prompt' in the P.S. This explains why WMIC can output UTF16 even at a regular non-/U prompt.

Somewhat related, a program can also decide on its own the output mode - UTF16 vs extended ASCII - regardless of the host CMD running with /U or /A. is redirected to a file, and can choose to act differently in the two cases - for example add a BOM in the latter case. On the other hand, a program such as WMIC can detect whether its output stream goes to the console vs. CMD itself doesn't insert a BOM not even when run with /U and redirected to a file. Why does CMD remove the BOM? (Or is it only prepended if you redirect to a file?)Think it's the latter. This command output will provide following information. For little and more concentrate information we will use following command. Wmic supports different levels of information displaying. It would be removed automatically otherwise. Help about wmic cpu command can be listed like below. I prepended an (40) to mark every beginning of a line that was not recognized to be empty by FOR /F. What happens if we try to process the output inside of a FOR /F loop?

UTF-16 LE is also the reason why any Windows linebreak (Carriage Return plus Line Feed = 0D 0A) shows up as 0D 00 0A 00. Due to the Little-Endianess the leading zeros are not prepended but appended to the 8 Bit ASCII characters. Also a Byte Order Mark (FF FE) was prepended that specifies the encoding as UTF-16 LE.Д®very character has a width of 16 Bits. As you can see it comes as unicode stream (UTF-16 Little Endian to be more clear).
