If you need to read simplified Chinese (GBK) which is code page 936

Enter the following command in the dos prompt

chcp 936

Update

Microsoft introduced a new Terminal app (https://aka.ms/terminal) which supports Unicode and Emoji fonts. It also allows us to customize different profiles for different consoles (such as Dos, PowerShell, Ubuntu, etc.).

The Terminal app use Cascadia Mono with font size 12 as default. We can change it for different profiles via settings.json which is accessed via Settings and clicking on the enter image description here icon.

Below shows a view of the settings.json:
