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.
Good luck,
Yinon
