I should correct myself. "cmd.exe" can do this, its called Font Linking:

http://docs.microsoft.com/globalization/input/font-technology

it allows you to pick a "base font", for example "Consolas". Then you can link
another font that has U+FFFD, like "Tahoma". Ideally both fonts would be
monospace, but it seems Windows has no builtin monospace font with U+FFFD.

Then when a missing character is encountered, it will pull from the linked font
if possible.
