Your console encoding is 'gbk', which can't display all the Unicode 
characters.  The following code can be used to generate all the characters 
into a file using an encoding that supports all Unicode characters, and then 
that file can be viewed in a program that supports the encoding (like 
Notepad for this example).  Still, what characters you see will depend on 
the font used.  Fonts generally do not support display of every Unicode 
character.

import codecs
f=codecs.open('unicode.txt','wt',encoding='utf-8')
for i in xrange(32,0x10000):       # skip control chars
    if i < 0xD800 or i > 0xDFFF:  # skip surrogate pair chars
        f.write(u'%04X: %s\t' % (i,unichr(i)))
f.close()
