When generating a list of filenames into a text file (notepad %f thru start menu), filenames containing Cyrillic characters are displayed as ????? when opened in Notepad.
Win 11 english. So i don't have any cyrillic default settings or something. But i can read in any app cyrillic. It seems TC sends to notepad incorrect names. Please how can i fix it?

Use %UF or %WF instead

Also notice that %f gives you the short (8.3) filenames - unlike %F%f thru start menu

In such a combination, this is quite acceptable, because after 127 characters, the characters are taken from the English code page 1252, replacing the characters with those corresponding to it. And since modern notepad uses UTF-8 encoding by default, rather than ANSI, the characters when using %f are also converted to unreadable form.
Therefore, you'll either have to change the program language in the regional settings to your native one and set the default encoding for notepad to ANSI, or use %UF immediately for UTF-8 compatibility.
Overquoting is evil! 👎
