Hi, Seems like your problem is just with the correct representation of those characters in Windows command-line. I have seen two solutions for that: * Right-click on the top bar of the the command-line window, go to "properties--> Font", select a font that shows all characters correctly. * Even better: use http://sourceforge.net/projects/console - much better that Windows' default console.
