Yes, Windows's default terminal/console does have issues. If all your
text is staying within the BMP, you may be able to run it within IDLE
to get somewhat better results; or PowerShell may help. But as you
say, that's not Python's fault.

Fortunately, it's not difficult to write a GUI program that
manipulates Unicode text, or something that works entirely with files
and leaves the display up to something else (maybe a good text editor,
or a web browser). All your internals are working perfectly, it's just
the human interface that's a bit harder. And only on flawed/broken
platforms.
