When I run octal dump (od) I notice that extended ASCII characters are
displayed incorrectly as ordinary characters. For example, the extended
characters 191, 196, and 218 are displayed as '?' , 'D' and 'Z'
respectively. I thought od was 'anding' the each character with 127, but
I've been informed that this because my shell/terminal is not configured
to display non-ASCII characters.
How can I configure Cygwin to display extended characters as in
hexadecimal format?
Thanks

are you sure ?
assuming your 191 is decimal so BF exadecimal
$ cat prova.txt |od -c
0000000 277 \n
0000003
od produces the same output under mintty (TERM=XTERM)
and console (TERM=CYGWIN)
and its output is in octal.
