• Your Windows build number:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.371]

• What you're doing and what's happening:

If you look at the full character set for code page 437, there are a number of useful symbols in the "control" range (for example, the symbols for card suits), which were commonly used in text-based games from the DOS era. I was just trying to use some of these recently, and noticed that they no longer work in the new console.

I thought at first this was a problem with the Consolas font, since they do work with the old Raster fonts, but I then tried using the Consolas font in the legacy console, and was surprised to find that they work there too. So there's obviously something the old console is doing to support those characters that is missing in the v2 console.

Below you can see a simple test case comparing the v2 console with Raster fonts (left), the legacy console with the Consolas font (middle), and the v2 console with the Consolas font (right).

In case it's not obvious, the characters being echoed are entered with the Ctrl key, i.e. Ctrl+B, Ctrl+D, etc.

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

When code page 437 is selected (or one of the regional equivalents) I would expect the characters in the control range to display their correct symbol as defined by the code page (assuming of course that the character isn't actually functioning as a control character).
