If it's a character you can type on your terminal, you shouldn't have
issues, but pasting other characters doesn't work (they're converted to
other characters). Despite Unicode being used for everything else, the
terminal on Windows still uses a locale-dependent code page for
character encoding. There is supposed to be a UTF-8 code page (cp65001),
but it's not supported by Python (3.3 is planned to support it), and it
doesn't even seem to work, at least for me.
