So don't use a Latin-1 environment; use a UTF-8 environment. vim running on Windows will happily display Unicode characters if you set the encoding to utf8 and use any of the standard Windows fonts that have lots of Unicode characters (e.g. Lucida Console, although modern versions of Courier New work as well).
