Unicode symbols in a batch file

Question

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.

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.
