I can see the text in Chinese to display correctly in VSCode, Notepad++, and Notepad. But, when I run the code the Chinese text shows garbled. Here is the code:

// Text used in this sample is taken from the English version of [Disney's Mulan (2020)](https://movies.disney.com/mulan-2020)
// The Chinese text is a translation obtained using Google's translator
// The Spanish text is a translation started with Google's translator and manually adjusted
//
namespace words_and_characters
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(chinese);
            Console.WriteLine(english);
            Console.WriteLine(español);
        }

        static string chinese = @"我對這個無法估量的邀請深感榮幸，但我無法接受，我很抱歉。
我在黑暗的掩護下離開了家，背叛了家人的信任。
我做出了我知道會冒著丟臉的風險的選擇。
從那時起……我發誓：忠誠、勇敢、真實。
為了履行這個誓言，我必須回家，為我的家人做出補償。";

        static string english = @"I'm deeply honored by this immesurable invitation but with humble apologies I cannot accept it.
I left home under cover of darkness and betrayed my family's trust.
I made choices I knew would risk their dishonor.
Since then... I have pledged an oath: to be loyal, brave, and true.
In order to fulfill this oath, I must return home and make amends to my family.";

        static string español = @"Me siento profundamente honrada por esta inconmensurable invitación pero con humildad me disculpo por no poder aceptarla.
Salí de casa al amparo de la oscuridad y traicioné la confianza de mi familia; tomé decisiones que sabía que arriesgarían su deshonra.
Desde entonces... he hecho un juramento: ser leal, valiente y sincera.
Para cumplir este juramento, debo regresar a casa y hacer las paces con mi familia.";
    }
}

Here are the images of what VSCode, Notepad++, and Notepad look like when the source code is opened:

Executing the code generates the following output:

C:\learning\cs\words_and_characters>dotnet run

The question is: How can I read the Chinese text and have it in Chinese in CS code.

Note:
I have written a similar example in Python, and Python gets the Chinese chars correctly
