On Windows 10 under Julia 0.7.0-alpha I have the following problem with displaying of multibyte characters:

```julia
               _
   _ _ _(_)_ | A fresh approach to technical computing
  (_) | (_) (_) | Documentation: https://docs.julialang.org
   _ _ _| |_ __ _ | Type "?" for help, "]?" for Pkg help.
  | | | | | | |/ _` | |
  | | |_| | | | (_| | | Version 0.7.0-alpha.0 (2018-05-31 00:07 UTC)
 _/ |\ __'_|_|_|\__'_| | Official http://julialang.org/ release
|__/ | x86_64-w64-mingw32

julia> "∀"
"���"

```

I have this problem in console as well as in Visual Studio emulated console.

On Julia 0.6.3 everything prints correctly under the same setup:

```julia
               _
   _ _ _(_)_ | A fresh approach to technical computing
  (_) | (_) (_) | Documentation: https://docs.julialang.org
   _ _ _| |_ __ _ | Type "?help" for help.
  | | | | | | |/ _` | |
  | | |_| | | | (_| | | Version 0.6.3 (2018-05-28 20:20 UTC)
 _/ |\ __'_|_|_|\__'_| | Official http://julialang.org/ release
|__/ | x86_64-w64-mingw32

julia> "∀"
"∀"

```

Does anyone have any advice how to solve this issue?
