The Command Prompt in Windows does not use iso-8859-1, but an ancient
code that was shipped with the original IBM PC in 1981. Later versions
of DOS allowed the code to be changed, and the feature is still there if
you switch the command window into full-screen mode, but I don't know of
any way to make it work right in a window.
