Might actually be a Windows console issue, but will let you decide!

I run into the same problem with 日本語.

This is a console issue. And more specifically a font issue. There is a decent work around involving adding a font to the console as well as confirmation that work to fix this in the console is underway here https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/75#issuecomment-391155429

I cannot get any emojis out on powershell (5) regardless of which terminal I use. NodeJS applications do show them and even the VSCode editor of my PowerShell shows them so I think it's a PowerShell issue.
