If I switch the console font to Lucida, I can see the Euro sign, too (even on XP Pro). But mixing and matching with Cygwin doesn't work well
H:\>echo € | c:\cygwin\bin\od -t x1 0000000 3f 20 0d 0a (the Cygwin process saw the Euro sign as a question mark) but H:\>c:\cygwin\bin\echo € | c:\cygwin\bin\od -t x1 0000000 e2 82 ac 0a which is the proper UTF-8 encoding of the Euro sign. So the output of a Windows process coming in through a pipe is treated differently than input from the Windows console. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
