Pyut Zh Why

When reading file contents that may contain Chinese or CJK text on Windows, use Python first.

Do not use PowerShell Get-Content, cat, or type for the file content.

Use an available Python executable (python, py -3, or the runtime supplied by the environment). Replace PYTHON_EXE with the actual executable:

& "PYTHON_EXE" -c "from pathlib import Path; import sys; sys.stdout.reconfigure(encoding='utf-8'); print(Path(sys.argv[1]).read_text(encoding='utf-8-sig', errors='replace'))" "PATH_HERE"

For snippets, still slice in Python. Do not pipe the target file text through PowerShell. If Python is unavailable, say the PowerShell output may be unreliable for Chinese text.
