The Windows 7 console does not even support displaying the Hebrew 
characters. My understanding is that this is because the only fonts it 
lets you pick are lacking the required characters.

I tested this by creating a Unicode file with notepad (which displayed 
everything fine, in Windows 7), containing:

---
Hello
שלום
---

The first line was ok but the second one was either question marks or 
squares. The only fonts Windows will let me pick are 'Consolas', 'Lucida 
Console' and 'Raster Fonts'.
