dshow command is listing device name different from actual device name

Question

I have used the command:

ffmpeg -f dshow -list_devices true -i dummy

to list the devices, but if device name is in language other than English then device name shown by FFmpeg and actual differ. How can I solve this mismatch problem? This image shows the device name in Spanish:

in Spanish

This image shows the device name as read by FFmpeg:

as read by FFmpeg

Try to change the code page to UTF-8 as detailed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388490/unicode-characters-in-windows-command-line-how/388500#388500 — aergistal, Oct 20 '15 at 08:20
that looks the same to me [?] or are you referring to the international characters being mangled [which I might be able to fix up] — rogerdpack, Oct 20 '15 at 16:05
Yes the special character ó present in mic name is changed to two special charaters. — Somanshu, Oct 23 '15 at 07:41
