Incorrect Encoding for CMake Output in VSCode Terminal on Chinese Windows System

[shi0rik0]

Brief Issue Summary

Bug Description

I am using CMake with MSVC to build a C++ program on my Chinese Windows system. With the default settings of CMake Tools, the output displayed in the VSCode terminal has incorrect encoding. Please see the highlighted section in the screenshot below.

Possible Fix

The default setting for cmake.outputLogEncoding is "auto" (related patch: #550). This setting sets the interpreted encoding of CMake output to the ANSI encoding on Windows, which in my case is GBK (cp936).

However, when I set cmake.outputLogEncoding to "utf-8", the output displays correctly, so I suspect that the actual encoding of the CMake output is UTF-8. I believe changing the default setting of cmake.outputLogEncoding to "utf-8" could resolve this bug.

How to Reproduce

I believe that building any CMake project on a non-ASCII Windows system will reproduce this problem.
