I'm launching Facebook / Duckling via Command Prompt using the following code:

String dir = theDucklingDir;
String cmd = "stack exec duckling-example-exe -- -p " + port;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
rt.exec("cmd.exe /c start /min && " + cmd, null, new File(dir));

However, the data sent to Duckling was not being parsed due to the following exception:

A web handler threw an exception. Details:
TerminateSessionException user error (Text.Regex.PCRE.String died: (21,"invalid UTF-8 string"))

I noticed that if I manually execute the command: CHCP 65001 in Command Prompt before executing: stack exec duckling-example-exe -- -p port it solves the problem and the data is parsed as expected.

I tried replicating this when starting Duckling programmatically:

rt.exec("cmd.exe /c start /min CHCP 65001 && " + cmd, null, new File(dir));

However, Duckling no longer starts when I add CHCP 65001 before the main command.

How can I replicate launching Duckling with: CHCP 65001?

UPDATE 1:

In response to @Mofi request, I'm adding the output of commands cdm /? and start /? below:

cmd /?
Starts a new instance of the Windows command interpreter

CMD [/A | /U] [/Q] [/D] [/E:ON | /E:OFF] [/F:ON | /F:OFF] [/V:ON | /V:OFF]
    [[/S] [/C | /K] string]

/C      Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
/K      Carries out the command specified by string but remains
/S      Modifies the treatment of string after /C or /K (see below)
/Q      Turns echo off
/D      Disable execution of AutoRun commands from registry (see below)
/A      Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be ANSI
/U      Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be
        Unicode
/T:fg   Sets the foreground/background colors (see COLOR /? for more info)
/E:ON   Enable command extensions (see below)
/E:OFF  Disable command extensions (see below)
/F:ON   Enable file and directory name completion characters (see below)
/F:OFF  Disable file and directory name completion characters (see below)
/V:ON   Enable delayed environment variable expansion using ! as the
        delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the
        variable var at execution time.  The var syntax expands variables
        at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR
        loop.
/V:OFF  Disable delayed environment expansion.

Note that multiple commands separated by the command separator '&&'
are accepted for string if surrounded by quotes.  Also, for compatibility
reasons, /X is the same as /E:ON, /Y is the same as /E:OFF and /R is the
same as /C.  Any other switches are ignored.



If /C or /K is specified, then the remainder of the command line after
the switch is processed as a command line, where the following logic is
used to process quote (") characters:

    1.  If all of the following conditions are met, then quote characters
        on the command line are preserved:

        - no /S switch
        - exactly two quote characters
        - no special characters between the two quote characters,
          where special is one of: &<>()@^|
        - there are one or more whitespace characters between the
          two quote characters
        - the string between the two quote characters is the name
          of an executable file.

    2.  Otherwise, old behavior is to see if the first character is
        a quote character and if so, strip the leading character and
        remove the last quote character on the command line, preserving
        any text after the last quote character.

If /D was NOT specified on the command line, then when CMD.EXE starts, it
looks for the following REG_SZ/REG_EXPAND_SZ registry variables, and if
either or both are present, they are executed first.
