[issue41821] Printing specific Unicode characters causes unwanted beeping in Windows 7 console

>In Windows 10, the console doesn't even support OEM "Raster Fonts", unless the option is selected to use the legacy console.

So the setting could still be changed if a user decides to modify the setting in order to run some legacy-software.

A single sentence about the beeping and the recommendation to use a True Type Font instead of the OEM raster font in the console section of "Using Windows" might not hurt.

Seeing as there are lots of legacy features in the console that still work, setting a raster font might probably even be a compatibility option in future Windows versions.
