Yes, that's what happens. It's not ideal, and perhaps it could be improved. (I hope by someone else....)My reading of the code is that at least some of these unsupported characters will NOT be displayed as \uNNNNN, but rather as some fallback glyph produced by the console itself, which is not what we want, I think.
There are similar display problems even in unibyte mode on the Linux console. Sometimes a character above U+00FF is displayed as '\uNNNN', sometimes as '?', sometimes the same character is displayed in different forms depending on what else is in the buffer, and I don't know why. (And likewise, I don't want to spend time worrying about this, as the 1990s are long gone....)
