Set CYGWIN=codepage:utf8 to enable UTF-8 support.

application don't convert UTF-8 strings correctly from multibyte to
wide char and vice versa.

Although it helped greatly, I'm still unable to open some files with Cygwin apps.

Windows tools have no problems accessing them.

Some Windows tools say for example "this directory contains file names from a different code page" (i.e., Total Commander will say this when entering a directory which contains such a file).


Is there a setting which will enable Cygwin apps to open all files, irrespective of their name encoding?
