Usually though when the font is missing a glyph for a Unicode
character, you just get a missing glyph symbol, such as an empty
rectangle.  For some reason when using the default font, cmd seemingly
ignores the active code page, skips decoding the characters, and tries
to print the individual bytes as if using code page 437.
