title: Printing Unicode characters to the PowerShell prompt
body: <p>I'm trying to set up Mercurial to print out the status of the repository I'm currently in with PowerShell. So far, I have everything working, but I would like to be able to print '☿' to the prompt when I am in a repository. Unfortunately, it seems that PowerShell has some problems with printing Unicode characters.</p>
  
  <p>In the accepted answer for <em><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/379240/">Is there a Windows command shell that will display Unicode characters?</a></em> it is suggested that PowerShell v2, which shipped with Windows&nbsp;7 (which I am using) would be able to print Unicode characters, but I can't seem to get it to work. Likewise, the next answer of using <code>chcp 65001</code> does not work either.</p>
  
  <p>Is this still a deficiency in PowerShell, or am I missing something obvious?</p>
