I assume you print to the terminal (cmd.exe). This cannot work;
the terminal (usually) does not interpret the characters in UTF-8.
Instead, you should print a Unicode string, e.g.

print u"\N{GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA}"

or

print u'\u0394'

This should work as long as your terminal supports printing
the letter at all.
