Yes, it does not support Unicode. That's why I said "1255", as in "Windows 1255", the ANSI encoding for Hebrew.
It does support Unicode (UTF-16) otherwise 'Hello' would have not been displayed correctly. Furthermore I also tested with a Windows 1255 encoded and did not have any luck with it either.
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'.
It should let you pick any monospace font. At least one of those should contain a Hebrew encoding. If not, you might need to set the default locale to Hebrew in order to test this (which will only be possible after clicking "add support for complex text layout languages", or something to similar effect, in Regional Settings). This will also install the Hebrew fonts.
I am only given the three font choices I listed. Also I did test this in a Hebrew locale. I did not have to check an 'add support for complex text layout languages' option however. All I did was go to the Windows Update site and select the Hebrew support option.
