Unicode symbols in Git for Windows

Not entirely sure how to best explain, but would it be possible to use certain Unicode symbols, not supported by the Windows Command Prompt, in Git for Windows? Preferably without using Cygwin.

The git-bash.exe packaged with git-for-windows does support those unicode characters. (it uses minTTY)

support

But the cmd.exe console does not does (as pointed out by kostix in the comments) with a Unicode (TrueType) font set, although those ones (✔', '✖', '★') are not included in the TrueType fond like Lucida Consola.
