It should, yes. However, the Emacs setup for CJK fonts is very
complex, and we don't currently have experts on board to understand
why it doesn't work on MS-Windows. So for now, you will have to put
the below somewhere in your init file:
(set-fontset-font t 'han
'("Microsoft YaHei" . "iso10646-1") nil 'append)
to have these characters covered.
If this works for you, it is currently all we can do for this
situation. (And before you ask: we cannot have the above by default
in Emacs OOTB because we don't want to promote non-free fonts that
Windows provides.)
