[erlang-questions] io:format error with UTF-8 encoding binary

[Adam Lindberg]

Hi Caoyuan!

You could try to change the language and see if that's it. Try going
to the Control Panel and start Regional and Language settings and
change it, see if that helps. You could also try to temporarily change
keyboard layout (seems to me that some stuff in Windows is connected
to that too).

Cheers!
Adam
