I made your test.
Yes, the characters don't look right in TYPE output.

Default CMD codepage for my country (Italy) is 850 (International aka "Multilingual (Latin I)").
I switched to 437 (US) using command:
"CHCP 437"
but the TYPE output is bad, yet.

What Codepage is using Windows in GUI environment?
I didn't find such a setting in ControlPanel -> International.

What can I do, now?
