The "�" sign instead of Cyrillic characters in a .net project running in docker

I get the � sign instead of any Cyrillic characters output by the project. The application runs in docker. Here is my Docker file:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0 AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 8080

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 AS build
ARG BUILD_CONFIGURATION=Release
WORKDIR /src
COPY ["PatiVerCore.WebApi/PatiVerCore.WebApi.csproj", "PatiVerCore.WebApi/"]
COPY ["PatiVerCore.Application/PatiVerCore.Application.csproj", "PatiVerCore.Application/"]
COPY ["PatiVerCore.Domain/PatiVerCore.Domain.csproj", "PatiVerCore.Domain/"]
COPY ["PatiVerCore.Infrastructure/PatiVerCore.Infrastructure.csproj", "PatiVerCore.Infrastructure/"]
COPY ["PatiVerCore.Persistence/PatiVerCore.Persistence.csproj", "PatiVerCore.Persistence/"]
RUN dotnet restore "./PatiVerCore.WebApi/./PatiVerCore.WebApi.csproj"
COPY . .
WORKDIR "/src/PatiVerCore.WebApi"
RUN dotnet build "./PatiVerCore.WebApi.csproj" -c $BUILD_CONFIGURATION -o /app/build

FROM build AS publish
ARG BUILD_CONFIGURATION=Release
RUN dotnet publish "./PatiVerCore.WebApi.csproj" -c $BUILD_CONFIGURATION -o /app/publish /p:UseAppHost=false

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "PatiVerCore.WebApi.dll"]

This is my docker-compose.yml file:

services:

  pativercore.webapi:
    image: ${DOCKER_REGISTRY-}pativercorewebapi
    container_name: pativer-core
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: PatiVerCore.WebApi/Dockerfile
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "5001:8080"
    depends_on:
      - redis_cache

  redis_cache:
    image: redis:7.4.0-alpine3.20
    container_name: redis-cache
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"
    command: redis-server

For example, I'm trying to display a word on the page: app.MapGet("/", () => "Приветик!"); Result

I know that the symbols are displayed correctly on the local computer in docker-desktop, but not on the Linux (Debian) server.

I tried to connect to docker and output the message echo "Приветик!" - the recording was displayed correctly

I tried to add locale to dockerfile, but it didn't help me.

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y locales

# Locale
RUN sed -i -e \
  's/# ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8/ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen \
   && locale-gen

ENV LANG ru_RU.UTF-8
ENV LANGUAGE ru_RU:ru
ENV LC_LANG ru_RU.UTF-8
ENV LC_ALL ru_RU.UTF-8

# +Timezone
ENV TZ Europe/Moscow
RUN ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime && echo $TZ > /etc/timezone

I feel like I'm dealing with something supernatural!

Console.WriteLine($"Кодировка: {Console.OutputEncoding.EncodingName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Кодировка: {Console.OutputEncoding.WebName}");

Result:

localetest-1  | ���������: Unicode (UTF-8)
localetest-1  | ���������: utf-8
Solution

  • The editing of the source does not happen not in UTF-8, but say Windows-1251 and then the source is compiled with UTF-8, needing to substitute the corrupt bytes.

    By \uXXXX escaping it will work.

    Console.WriteLine($"\u041A\u043E\u0434\u0438\u0440\u043E\u0432\u043A\u0430...");

    It might be the VS remote editor using the wrong Windows encoding.
