Exec while encoding as buffer still contains question marks instead of special characters

[mm739521]

• Version:6.10.3
• Platform:Windows

I'm attempting to echo a string with special characters in it (téstér) with the child_process.exec(command[, options][, callback]) .

stdout is returning t?st?r. As per instructions I added the {encoding: 'buffer'} which is returning the buffer value of <Buffer 74 82 73 74 82 72 0d 0a>. If I create a new Buffer object using let test = Buffer.from('téstér') I get back the value of <Buffer 74 c3 a9 73 74 c3 a9 72>.

Why are these returning different values? I'm about to decode the value from the Buffer.from object I create, with the special characters, but when I attempt to do the same to the stdout I still get the t?st?r value.

Am I doing something incorrect here? Any help would be greatly aprreciated.

It seems the {encoding: 'buffer'} is treating the é as 82. Which is a linebreak according to this https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0082/index.htm
