What about zsh (or another shell) and the standard Cygwin Console?

This is the canonic way. Make sure that the file is sourced. But I
have no problems here - although typing non-ascii characters in a
shell doesn't make sense. The only use is showing files with ls or d -
which is not a shell thing.
