Maybe someone could enlighten me about the following:
On Cygwin bash I see
$ echo ü | od -cx
0000000 374 \n
0afc
0000002
That means, the German letter ü has encoding 0xFC. If I do the same on CMD shell
(the 'od' used here comes from the Gnu Utilities for Windows), I see:
echo ü | od -cx
0000000 201 \r \n
2081 0a0d
0000004
That is, ü is encoded as 0x81. Why is this different?
I am aware that, for historic reason, different encodings exist (the old
DOS encoding, Windows ANSI encoding etc.). I wouldn't have expected those
differences, however, when comparing bash.exe vs. cmd.exe.
