Printing unicode

hey is there any way to print Unicode characters into command prompt? when I try to print Unicode character it says 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: character maps to <undefined> however it prints OK in python IDLE

it doesn't work either :( I'm beginning to think that it can't be done because command prompt can't accept some Unicode characters or something

you can also use: print(str(yourstringvariable).encode('utf-8'))
