In August 2012, after 20 years of development, Python is not able to display a piece of text correctly on a Windows console (eg cp65001).
cp65001 is known to not work right. It has been very frustrating. Bug Microsoft about it, and indeed their whole policy of still dividing the world into code page regions, even in their next version, instead of moving toward unicode and utf-8, at least as an option.
I downloaded the go language, zero experience, I did not succeed to display incorrecly a piece of text. (This is by the way *the* reason why I tested it). Where the problems are coming from, I have no idea.
If go can display all unicode chars on a Windows console, perhaps you can do some research and find out how they do so. Then we could consider copying it.
