Console isn't showing pretty characters in Shell

I want to write some pretty, special characters taken from Web in my Shell Console with echo command. I want to write, for example, ▲ character, but it shows me ��� character. How can I solve the problem? Thanks!

I am using Ubuntu 64 bit also. You should check your terminal type and what kind of character-set does it supports. Take a look at this

You need to make sure you character sets match and that you are using the correct terminal emulation. This can be set on both the Linux side or using your terminal client software.

e.g. ANSI, VT100, Linux

Character sets like UTF-8 does include symbols.
