Something has changed in version 2.6.0, and now UTF-8 text can't be displayed in Windows console (cmd).
1. Create a file "test.txt" with non-ASCII text in UTF-8 encoding. 2. Run "cmd". 3. Run: C:\Cygwin\bin\cat test.txt ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒ 8000 ▒▒. ▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒. Non-ASCII text is not readable. Older Cygwin 2.5.2 has no such issue. C:\Cygwin\bin\uname -a CYGWIN_NT-10.0 PCName 2.6.0(0.304/5/3) 2016-08-31 14:32 x86_64 Cygwin C:\Cygwin\bin\locale LANG= LC_CTYPE="C.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="C.UTF-8" LC_TIME="C.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="C.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="C.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="C.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Same issue with any other commands like "grep", or with utilities built and run under Cygwin 2.6.0. Same issue in other Windows consoles, like ConEmu or FAR Manager. If I change Windows console encoding to UTF-8 (run: "chcp 65001"), file can be correctly displayed natively (run: "type test.txt"), but Cygwin "cat" still has the same issue. How should I display UTF-8 now?
