Notepad Lucida Console U+012D Rendering Bug

I just noticed while doing Chinese homework that Notepad using the Lucida Console monospace font does not render U+012D (Latin Small Letter I With Breve) correctly. The font renders that letter (an lowercase I with a Chinese third-tone mark) very thin and not at all the same width as other characters.

In default font:
ǐ

In Lucida Console (as determined by browser):
ǐ

In Lucida Console in context:
Random markǐngs, yay!

It actually seems to render correctly-ish in Chrome, for some reason taking the character from Courier New, but here's a screenshot of Notepad to show you what I mean:
See the "I" in the top line
