What to do to make the command prompt (CMD) display Unicode correctly (eg Russian names).
Because it displays only "?????"
 
Where?
Inside the command prompt?
Or do you intend in logs created by you with "output to file redirector" > ?
In the latter case, you should run the command chcp 855 (Cyrillic - Russian) when you open a new command prompt.
I think it also depends on how you set the language on your machines...
 
The file or folder names contain Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Chinese, Japanese, Norse and many other Unicode, what to do to support this mixture of this encoding?
 
Code:
Windows PowerShell

PS C:\Windows\system32> sp -t d HKCU:\Console CodePage 0xfde9

Unfortunately, it still does not register all paths.
 
It will not solve this problem (installing languages), but the correct solution is to change the font. But what a universal font for all Unicode (not only Russian) ???
