At the moment I am using ugly 'cmd /c chcp 65001' and it does help.
BTW. this is a solution recommended by cygwin FAQ. I guess I am not

To be specific, IronPython and cpython interpreters are program which
respect CP settings.
Any .net based console application is by default respecting CP settings.
The minimalistic example of such a program:
using System;
namespace encoding_console {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
Console.WriteLine("\u2192");
}
}
}
