Can I get Console to show Chinese?

Viewed 7018

I've always wondered if it would be possible to show UTF8 or UTF16-Chinese text in a Console window, e.g., Console.WriteLine(chinese). For the time being, it shows up as ???. Is it possible to kick up a Console session that supports Chinese characters?

Under cygwin, the following settings can enable English interface, yet supports Chinese character display from cat, tail, etc.

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN
