I've just upgraded to the beta version (1.7.0). 

I understand your comments.  This is now in my cygwin.bat file 
(definitely for the correct, beta, installation):
@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cyg\bin
set LANG=th_TH.UTF-8
bash --login -i

And these lines in my .bashrc file (also definitely the correct 
installation):

alias ls='ls -hF --color=tty --show-control-chars'                 # 
classify files in colour
export LANG="th_TH.UTF-8"

And yet it's still not listing unicode characters properly.  Now that 
I've upgraded, it's not giving any warning messages ("ls: cannot access 
???????????????? : No such file or directory.")
when running 'ls' in a folder with Thai filenames.  It's just listing 
????.doc or whatever.

I cannot see the solution but would be really grateful if someone else 
can.  It's a pretty critical feature for me to get working if I want to 
use cygwin.
