Since you're on Windows, try running a ssh daemon and log into your
Cygwin using PuTTY. (Or heck, properly secured telnet.)
In PuTTY you can easily configure the font and character encoding.
It does a good job with Asian characters.
I just confirmed that I can see radicals in PuTTY
(Method: go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_%28Chinese_character%29,
and cut and paste random radicals from the table into my PuTTY window.
The ones I sampled all showed up fine. The font is just Courier,
on Windows XP. "Translation" is set to "UTF-8". This is in the
settings
under "Window".)
(But my putty is connected to a Linux system, not to Cygwin:
that's something for you to try. :)
