I added 'set LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8' (without the quotes) to Cygwin.bat, as
suggested in the Internationalization section of the 1.7 User Guide, but
there was no improvement.
Uh oh, I guess this must be changed again in the docs. Cygwin is using
UTF-8 throughout as default charset so there should be no reason to
do that.
I think it's still a good idea to set it, so that things work
correctly when connecting to a remote machine, and also for local apps
that have their own (wrong) ideas about the default locale.
I agree absolutely. This setting is needed for many apps and I suggest
adding it to the default cygwin.bat, where it should probably be
'set LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8' to be more specific and to avoid a national
preference.
