The only unexpected thing is the empty output of GBK-encoded chinese characters when LANG is xxxx.UTF-8.
I mean it should display something visible(malformed characters, squares or whatever visible characters) regardless the LANG setting. echo -e "Chinese characters in GBK encoding: [\xba\xba\xd7\xd6] -- Output will be [ ] in Cygwin 1.7" echo -e "Chinese characters in UTF-8 encoding: [\xe6\xb1\x89\xe5\xad\x97]" Cygwin windows is a DOS prompt window, and this window has a code page, it's code page 936(GBK) in Simplified Chinese Windows OS. But Cygwin 1.7 is *simulating* UTF-8 environment, will this difference cause the empty output issue?
