Anyone using a shell for Windows that works and supports UTF-8 properly?
A regular Windows console supports UTF-8 to some extent:

* Change console font to Lucida Console
* issue "chcp 65001"

You can even get more fonts into there with a bit of hackery.

I did that but "type <filewith-utf8.txt>"  still prints garbage.

That's weird. My machine (WinXp Sp3) has no problem printing UTF-8 to the console. The only special thing I did was changed the font to Lucide Console.
