How to -draw text with special character -like ë- in ImageMagick

Question

I would like to draw some special characters on my image, but the letter ë in Azië is represented with wrong coded characters. actually i wrote my script on a *.bat UTF8 encoded file. Is there a way to solve it?

this is my example code:

-draw "rotate -4 text 385,335 'Azië'"

thanks in advance

still not working, it prints another letter (basically this Ù) — axel, Jan 02 '14 at 09:28

after this answer - you may save the batch file in Windows 1252 encoding (or another), then wrap your commands in this lines:

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims=:." %%x in ('chcp') do set cp=%%x

rem here you change the codepage (encoding)
chcp 1252>nul

rem your commands here
-draw "rotate -4 text 385,335 'Azië'"

chcp %cp%>nul
