I am using the following work around:

create a bat file containing
chcp 65001 && cmake %*
set cmake.cmakePath to the bat file

I hope this will help.

I've had a few troubles with character encoding. This is on the backlog.

For now i wrote some python scripts to generate and build the project myself, and every charset encoding is under control in vscode, but i hope this extension will improved later, then i will change back.

Maybe you can temporary patch it by adding an option in settings.json to let user manually set their preferred output encoding, and provide a permanent solution later.

@feng-ye I tried your work around, but got following error. It seems .bat can't run.
