Displaying extended ASCII characters in output of octal dump as hexadecimal

- Subject: Displaying extended ASCII characters in output of octal dump as hexadecimal
When I run octal dump (od) I notice that extended ASCII characters are
displayed incorrectly as ordinary characters. For example, the extended
characters 191, 196, and 218 are displayed as '?' , 'D' and 'Z'
respectively. I thought od was 'anding' the each character with 127, but
I've been informed that this because my shell/terminal is not configured
to display non-ASCII characters.
How can I configure Cygwin to display extended characters as in
hexadecimal format?
Thanks
