Unicode characters in command prompt

I need to display the unicode characters for card suit symbols in a non-GUI poker program. I wrote it in notepad and am compiling/running it from command prompt. The current method I have of trying to display them is assigning the \uXXXX unicode escape to a char variable, but it's just displaying as '?'. Is there anything I need to do different?
Help would be greatly appreciated. This is the last thing keeping me from completing this project.

That could be tricky. Many terminals/command line environments can only display ASCII characters, and will show everything else with "?". At the least, you'd need to set it to use a font that contains those characters, since I don't think there's a console/terminal in existence that can mix several fonts in the same line.
