Your posting was in the thread "[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated:

The problem you reported, of broken interactive non-ASCII input,
is likely unrelated but is further suggestive that the 7.x releases
of libreadline didn't go through the QA they should. The version
combination that you mention in that posting is the one I am
now happily running with.
original issue is here:
With cmd.exe, you can type Alt 234 and it produces
GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA U+03A9. However with Cygwin via Cygwin.bat it
yields nothing. Non ASCII characters can be read from scripts, but they cannot
be entered interactively.
They cannot be pasted either; pasting some words will remove all non ASCII
characters.
