I try not to, so in case I mis-remembered, I tried your experiment.

I cut the mixed alphabet input line and pasted into a *fresh* Command
Prompt window on my USA Win 7 machine with all updates.
C:\Users\Terry>echo "?‚????*"
"?‚????*"
About what I expected, except for é becoming ,. Now the test. Change the
code page and re-paste.

This a major fail as all non-ascii chars are deleted when pasted (at
least visibly) and the echo does not echo. There is no Python involved
in this failure.
I am willing to believe that you might have gotten different behavior on

rather a collection of ghettoized national versions.
As I said before, Idle does work in this regard.
