I'm getting:

$ echo -e "Chinese characters in GBK encoding: [\xba\xba\xd7\xd6]"
Chinese characters in GBK encoding: [=E2=96=92=E2=96=92=E2=96=92=E2=96=92]

(In case they don't show up, that's four grey blocks in the brackets,
representing invalid UTF-8 bytes.)

Same both with the default raster font and with Lucida Console. With
the default raster font, the output is limited to your console
codepage, which may not have that replacement character, so try it
with a different font that puts the console into Unicode mode.
