debugger cannot show chinese characters from a string variable

[dreamer2q]

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

string replace(string line, string o, string n) {
    auto i = line.find(o);
    if (i != string::npos) {
        return line.replace(i, o.length(), n);
    }
    return line;
}

int main() {
    string line;
    cout << "> ";
    while (getline(cin, line)) {
        line = replace(line, "你", "我");
        line = replace(line, "吗", "");
        line = replace(line, "?", "");
        line = replace(line, "？", "");
        cout << line << endl;
        cout << "> ";
    }
}

I try to debug these code above and input "你好吗" to line but the debugger cannot show its content properly.

It seem a matter of gdb problem, if so, what can I do to fix it?

my config is as follow

      "type": "cppdbg",

        }
      ],

The debugger can only handle ASCII characters at the moment, if you enable engine logging. You can see that we are printing the unicode values instead of the actual UTF-8 reprensentation.

How to change the encoding of the cppgdb. After I enter chcp 936, I think that I have already changed the encoding of the cppgdb. But when I press F5 and enter chcp, There is 65001 on the integrated terminal.

do you have a plan to fix this problem, it's been a long time...

Is this the same as #918?

[sean-mcmanus]

@starball5 Yes, it seems like it might be the same root issue. We could potentially close this issue as a duplicate of #918.
