Maybe the problem is not in the Python interpreter. Running this tiny
C program

#include "stdio.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    printf("<\xc2\x80>\n");
    }

compiled with mingw32 (gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3))
and using "Lucida Console" font:

After CHCP 1252, this prints < A-circumflex Euro >, as expected.
After CHCP 65001, it prints < hollow-square >.

Perhaps you could try that with an MS C compiler [which I don't
have] ...
