Unicode symbols in a batch file

If I type this command into a cmd: "echo █", then it displays the " █ " symbol. But if I type the command "echo █" into a batch (.bat) file I get what is shown in the pic below.

enter image description here

How do I fix it? I only need the " █ " symbol, but optionally I would also need: ◧ , ◙ , ▤ , ▣ , ⍁ , ⍂

You can manually set the codepage to UTF-8 by typing chcp 65001 at the top of your batch file.

Remember to follow the instructions exactly.

In other words, when it says copy into the document, they mean copy the chars and paste it into your document. Don't just convert your original document.
