I don't think so.  Windows will always convert the stuff you write to
the console to the codepage that is in effect on that console, because
cmd.exe is not a Unicode app.  So if you want to mix characters from
different scripts, codepage 65001 is still required.

That said, I never tried these techniques myself, so I can easily be
wrong.

I don't see this font in the list of fonts you can select in the
Property sheets of the cmd prompt on Windows XP and on Windows 7.  On
XP, I can only select Lucida Console; on Windows 7 I can also select
Consolas (whose coverage is slightly larger, and includes Thai, but
still does not include CJK.
