Yes. It's called "type". Take a Hebrew text stored in a Windows 1255 encoded file, and "type file", see what happens. The order, if I understand this correctly, will be logical.
The Windows 7 console does not even support displaying the Hebrew characters. My understanding is that this is because the only fonts it lets you pick are lacking the required characters.
I tested this by creating a Unicode file with notepad (which displayed everything fine, in Windows 7), containing:

The first line was ok but the second one was either question marks or squares. The only fonts Windows will let me pick are 'Consolas', 'Lucida Console' and 'Raster Fonts'.
