If you run cmd in it, you will still need to use cp65001. This is not necessary
for  (or applicable to) other applications (such as a Python interpreter) run
directly. ConEmu can use any arbitrary font available on the system. As I have
said, I have been able to display Unicode output on it from an application
written in Python. No mojibake, no replacement characters, just the exact
characters one would expect.
I do not know the internals of ConEmu and how it interacts with conhost and
whatever else, but I have not found a need to since it has just worked for me.
