Have you tried it? It's not a matter of installed fonts.

There are two problems with Unicode characters in console D programs:

1. The default code page on Windows is practically never UTF-8.

You could change the code page to UTF-8 using SetConsoleOutputCP, but  
weird things happen if you don't change it back before your program exits:  
if your program was called from a batch file, all batch files are  
instantly aborted.

2. The default font for the Windows console is not a Unicode font.
