Well, I don't have a font that cmd.exe can use to display unicode

OTOH, ud hello will produce unicode, and if I save it as file.txt and view it in notepad with a unicode font, I see hello upsidedown (well, if I squint, the upside down L's aren't really upside down L's, but they look real close)

AFAIK, http://conemu.sf.net , http://console.sf.net, powershell can display unicode
