Msys terminal run command permantly

Question

I want to run this command:

chcp.com 1253

permantly in msys2 terminal.

I don't want to write this command every time a msys2 mingw 64 terminal is open.

Χρήστος Παππάς@DESKTOP-8T1C1VF MINGW64 ~
$ cd /c/Users/Χρήστος\ Παππάς/Desktop/

Χρήστος Παππάς@DESKTOP-8T1C1VF MINGW64 /c/Users/Χρήστος Παππάς/Desktop
$ python ελληνικά.py
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒

Χρήστος Παππάς@DESKTOP-8T1C1VF MINGW64 /c/Users/Χρήστος Παππάς/Desktop
$ chcp.com 1253
Active code page: 1253

Χρήστος Παππάς@DESKTOP-8T1C1VF MINGW64 /c/Users/Χρήστος Παππάς/Desktop
$ python ελληνικά.py
Εληννικά

Χρήστος Παππάς@DESKTOP-8T1C1VF MINGW64 /c/Users/Χρήστος Παππάς/Desktop
$

Thanks in advance, Chris Pappas

Run vim ~/.bashsrc
Press I key (goes from read mode to insert mode for edit the file)
Move at the bottom of the file and type chcp.com 1253
Then press Esc, w key, q key, ! key and press Enter

That's it. Every time I open the msys console i see something like:

Active code page: 1253

Pro tip: use `nano` instead of `vim` for a commad-line editor that doesnt't require memorizing a crapton of hotkeys. – HolyBlackCat Sep 09 '21 at 17:18
@HolyBlackCat Maybe you are right. We used vi(m) in our university lab. :) – Chris P Sep 09 '21 at 20:37
