No, it seriously is the font. This is what I get using the default
("Raster") font:
C:\>chcp 65001
Active code page: 65001
C:\>c:\python33\python
Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 10:55:48) [MSC v.1600
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> '\u2013'
'–'
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.buffer.write('\u2013\n'.encode('utf-8'))

I should note here that the characters copied and pasted do not
correspond to the glyphs actually displayed in my terminal window. In
the terminal window I actually see:
ΓÇô
If I change the font to Lucida Console and run the *exact same code*,
I get this:
C:\>chcp 65001
Active code page: 65001
C:\>c:\python33\python
Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 10:55:48) [MSC v.1600

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> '\u2013'
'–'
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.buffer.write('\u2013\n'.encode('utf-8'))

Why is the font important? I have no idea. Blame Microsoft.
