What font can I use in a Windows 7 command prompt to display block characters?

What font can I use in a Windows 7 command prompt to display block
characters?

Way back in the DOS days, I could have a command line prompt that
contained block characters, such as ¨€ or ▀.
I am trying to create a prompt with colored block characters using AnsiCon
on Windows 7.
I have the coloring sorted out, but when I use those characters with any
of the fonts available under Properties in the command prompt window
(Consolas, Lucida Console, and Raster Fonts), they appear as other special
characters.
Is there a font that I can install that supports the block characters
using ANSI encoding?
