That's clearly not PHP but a terminal issue. On windows its limited to the terminal fonts and depends also on whether the terminal has the multibyte support. I've saved your snippet as UTF-8 and was able to see two of that three chars in powershell chcp 65001 on win8, the normal cmd seems to have no multibyte support. Or maybe you could try to tweak the fonts in the registry, not sure.
