- To display Unicode characters in the console window, you must use
a TTF font like "Lucida Console" because the raster fonts don´t
contain all the codepoints.
Right-click on the title bar, choose Properties, go to the Fonts tab, and select Lucida Console in a readable size. You may or may not choose to make this option apply to future DOS sessions.
