open a cmd window and type "chcp"... if that still exists in win7, it should 
tell you the codepage being used... looking at your example, it appears that 
something is translating what you type to utf-8 and that your terminal cannot 
render utf-8... i fight the same battle in another world with a huge amount of 
CP437 oriented software that will never be updated...

i will try your code on my boxen to see what it gives... now to figure out how 
to generate those characters with my US keyboard... i /think/ ALT-135 is the 
"lowercase c with a tail" 'ç' and the other one is the "lowercase a with a wavy 
line over it" but i can't find it :? maybe i can paste it from this message into 
that window?
