you can set the console to output plain text by setting it in your home folder:

C:\Users\$USER\.gradle\gradle.properties

just add the following text into that file (creating it if it doesn't exist):

org.gradle.console=plain

I don’t think this is about UTF-8, looks like ANSI codes that PowerShell doesn’t understand. But I’m not sure what to do about it, except what David says; I’m no Windows user.

@Simon Kågedal Reimer I do not know how it works when I set encoding to UTF-8 in PS priorities window. Before changing to that, the characters looks good, so I think Gradle has some issues when processing UTF-8 in console. And my IDEA console display correctly using default config. BTW @David Ankin’s solution resolved my issue, thanks a lot.
