And you also need a font that support those characters. I don't know about  
Windows, maybe there is such a font installed by default. If not, there is  
a free one called ”Euterpe” that I personally use. It contains all the  
UTF-8 music characters but one: ”U+1D159 MUSICAL SYMBOL NULL NOTEHEAD”.  
Also, U+1D173 until U+1D17A seems to be ”blanc”.
