The default character set is UTF-16 which will display your 'beta'
character just fine. It won't however display on the console, at least
I know it won't on a Winblows XP system.

Isn't that weird that the console remained stuck at the stage of
evolution of DOS. On my machine, it even uses the old IBM OEM char
set.

It needs an update: colour, traceback to the source line that created
it, Tee to a file, scrollback, permanent log record, encodings.
