How can I display special symbols like flowers symboles on CMD with C#?

Question

According to name of topic I tried to display some special symbols on CMD with C#,but when I use for example \u273F to display a flower,the result is only ? characters!!! I changed the cmd font to lucida console and I used these line but none of them was helpful.

Console.OutputEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;

Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8;

What can I do else? I searched a lot on the net,but I didn't take any way to solve my issue!!!

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace UniCodes
{
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
        Console.WriteLine("This is a list of unicodes of  some characters"+

Thanks dear,but I read that topic before too.I will put my code here to see. — Sa'h ba, Jul 28 '14 at 05:52
Is there a use-case for something like this? What are you trying to accomplish? — Tieson T., Jul 28 '14 at 05:59
According to Character Map here, Lucida Console does not contain a glyph for U+273F: start by ensuring the font you are testing with has the glyphs you need. — Richard, Jul 28 '14 at 06:01
@Sahba.ph Understood, sorry, read only the title and not the question body. — Eugene Podskal, Jul 28 '14 at 06:02
Based on the comment from @Richard, it should be just a matter of changing the console font. See this: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/pavely/2009/07/23/changing-console-fonts/ (taken from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1802600/changing-font-in-a-console-window-in-net).

You need to configure it to use Unicode character set. Also, as Eugene says, here's a more explained answer:

I installed some monospaced-fonts with special characters, but none of them were suitable to introduce to CMD.

AND I understood that my asked(set a font like Wingdings font to CMD for have some lovely character on CMD) is an impossible action. however I'm glad to take this experience .

Thanks every one...
