Sorry, it's 936.

d is an example, there's more. so I guess it should be resolved in 
cygwin maybe better...

Though I maybe able to use UTF-8 sequences to invoke d tool, but I can't 
do anything about cwd, for example:
	bash-3.2$ pwd
	/mnt/c/Profiles/Shecti/桌面

	bash-3.2$ ls
	Gears Shortcut Sample.lnk  hello      setup.xj  worker.js
	e-3.4.lnk                  reply.txt  sms.xls

	bash-3.2$ d

But set LANG=C will get a different result,

	C:\Profiles\Shecti> set LANG=& bash -c "cat ä½ å¥½"
	cat: ä½ å¥½: No such file or directory

	C:\Profiles\Shecti> set LANG=C& bash -c "cat ä½ å¥½"
	123

So I guess the default locale isn't C.
