Thanks Corinna for the prompt reply & Sorry if i sounded too harsh(erratic) while asking about utf support in cygwin !!
Actually i was trying a few commands (cp, cat, cut, etc) on a file containing utf-8/utf-16/SHIF-JIS data (containing Japanese names) on win NT (japanese) machine. The commands worked fine for for each encoding except for utf-8 I am not able to understand what could be the reason for utilities supporting utf-16 , but not utf-8 & are they really tested to work on that ?? A bit of descriptive reply by anyone would be appreciated !!
