LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 urxvt-X.exe&
python -c 'for i in range(0x410, 0x431):print unichr(i),'

It should work in cmd.exe, as long as the terminal's encoding supports
these characters in the first place. Use chcp.exe to find out what the
terminal's encoding is. The Python program is not completely equivalent,
as it leaves the output encoding to Python, rather than assuming a fixed
UTF-8 output encoding.
