Yeah, it looks like some more setup work is required.  I got the same
error message when trying to use CP932 or CP950.  Under Windows XP, in
Regional and Language Options under the control panel:
  - On the Languages pane, make sure East Asian languages checked.
  - On the Advanced pane, make sure that the code pages you want to use
are checked.
  - Also on the Advanced pane, you may need to select the language you
want to use as the language for non-Unicode programs.

However, I assume that the OP already has his computer set up to support
Chinese characters from the console, or he wouldn't be asking this
question.  I can confirm that on my computer, unicode text output works
in Python but not in D.
