I recommend the font Deja Vu Sans Mono for viewing SymPy Unicode pretty printed output https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/. It has the INTEGRAL_EXTENSIOn glyph you mention and it's the only font I know of that actually renders it correctly. It's free and as far as I know it should work on Windows.
Of course, you can also just run SymPy in a Jupyter notebook, which will render output using MathJax, which generally looks better than the Unicode output, and works on any platform.
