body: <p>How can I type in Persian (UTF-8) in Windows 7 Command Prompt?</p>
  
  <p>As this question claims
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388490/unicode-characters-in-windows-command-line-how/388500#388500">Unicode characters in Windows command line - how?</a></p>
  
  <p>I used <code>chcp 65001</code> and changed the console font to <code>Lucida</code> but the result is some rectangular characters when I type in Persian. </p>
  
  <p>Its interesting as I copy these characters and paste them in a editor they are in Persian alphabet.</p>
