If you have Vista or Win 7 installed, try your script in PowerShell.
Otherwise, install PowerShell, and try your script.

PowerShell is a .NET-based (almost) drop-in replacement for cmd.exe,
and, AFAIK, fully Unicode-aware.

Though the folk I have met,
(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.
