If it's a character you can type on your terminal, you shouldn't have issues, but pasting other characters doesn't work (they're converted to other characters). Despite Unicode being used for everything else, the terminal on Windows still uses a locale-dependent code page for character encoding. There is supposed to be a UTF-8 code page (cp65001), but it's not supported by Python (3.3 is planned to support it), and it doesn't even seem to work, at least for me.
