[CWB] encoding a corpus of Persian texts

The file extension is immaterial, .vrt is just a convention, no more. 
What matters is the internal format of the file.

This is a limitation of cmd terminal, I would imagine. Some users have had success 
at fixing this using the steps laid out here:

Good luck!

I encoded the text, but it wasn't possible to search it (even the pos tags). Then I used the .txt and after encoding I was able to search the corpus in cmd command prompt using CQP.

Now the problem is this "Persian characters are not correctly displayed and you can't type Persain and/or Arabic characters in cmd command promt. Is there a solution for this?
