Your terminal can't display those characters. You could try using other
code pages with chcp (a CLI utility that is part of Windows). IDLE is a
GUI, so it does not have to work with code pages.

Python 3.3 supports cp65001 (which is the equivalent of UTF-8 for
Windows terminals), but unfortunately, previous versions do not.
