When I run a standalone Javascript using nodejs in the Sublime Text Editor:

console.log("Hellø World!");

The output is displayed in the Build Result pane:

Hellø World!
[Finished in 54ms]

Screenshot of code and output with wrong encoding

Sadly, the encoding is wrong. Running node test.js works fine in a terminal whose default encoding is set to 'utf-8'. However, in Sublime Text, the default encoding (for new files) is also set to UTF-8, so I expected this to work fine too.

Note: ø (U+00F8) is encoded as 0xC3 0xB8 in UTF-8, and when 0xC3 0xB8 is interpreted as Latin-1, it will show up as ø. So that is what seems to be happening here.

How to I force Sublime Text to interpret the stdout (as displayed in the Build Result pane) as UTF-8 instead of Latin-1?

(Running MacOS 15.4, with Sublime Text build 4192 and nodejs v22.14.0)
