Answer : How can I display non-ascii characters on the command prompt?

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Regional and Language Options |
Languages tab | Supplemental language support | Install files for East Asian Languages | Apply.

When you've done that:

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Regional and Language Options |
Languages tab | Details button | Settings tab | Add input language | Korean. N

Note the corresponding IME for Korean Input System (IME 2002)

Save these changes and reboot. Log on and select Korean as the default language.

Start | Run | Cmd

At the prompt, type CHCP

You should get a response like

Active code page: 437

This is the code page for the United States. To change this to code page 949, which supports Korean, type:

chcp 949

Press Enter. The computer's ANSI code page is stored in the following registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP

To revert to US English, at the prompt, type:

chcp 937

Press Enter. Exit the CMD window, and change language to EN within Windows.

See this Microsoft article for more information on Code Pages and the CHCP command:
