If you are running cygwin in the default mintty console, check the
setting of the locale and character set in the mintty settings. On the
settings text page, set the Character set to UTF-8 (it may display as
UTF-8 (Unicode) in the drop-down. Also set the Locale to the right
language and region. You will have at least C in the drop-down, plus
any others from your windows regional configuration.


You may also want/need to change the display font in mintty. I've found
DejaVu Sans Mono has better Unicode support than the default font.
