Chinese character search results not show on rg result buffer

[maobaoqi]

Hi,

I use rg.el to search chinese character and the results can not show on rg buffer, but using rg with --encoding=utf-8 on msys2 shell the rg will work well and show many results contains chinese characters

Test on linux, emacs with rg can show chinese character search results. Use command: c\:/msys2/mingw32/bin/rg --color=always --colors=match:fg:red --colors=path:fg:magenta --colors=line:fg:green --colors=column:none -n --column --type-add=gyp\:\*.gyp --type-add=gyp\:\*.gypi -i --heading --no-config --fixed-strings --type=all --encoding utf-8 -e \工\具 .

You can specify your own flags that will always be used by the package: https://rgel.readthedocs.io/en/2.0.3/configuration.html#option-rg-command-line-flags Thers is also an --encoding option in the transient menu. It's not at the default level though so to enable it you need to customize the menu. When the menu is open press C-x l to open the customization mode. There you can change the default level to enable all options at a certain level or move specific options to already enabled level. Everything in green will be on by default.

@dajva This way can not solve the matter. c\:/msys2/mingw32/bin/rg.exe --color=always --colors=match:fg:red --colors=path:fg:magenta --colors=line:fg:green --colors=column:none -n --column --type-add=gyp\:\*.gyp --type-add=gyp\:\*.gypi --encoding=utf-8 -i --heading --no-config --fixed-strings --type=all -e \那\里 .

use the same command in msys2 shell and results can appear.

This works fin for me on linux. Looks like you are on windows so maybe something special is needed there. I can recall a similar problem in another issue that might give you a hint how to solve it: https://github.com/dajva/rg.el/issues/101#issuecomment-713578858

Windows support is not official so closing this.
