After some long mulling over this problem, I gave up on supporting JIS. It's an incredible dumb character set, using escape sequences so that you have to know the current state at every stage of the conversion. This isn't easily doable using the underlying Win32 functions, at least not in a way which is compatible with the equivalent POSIX functions. So, I removed JIS support from Cygwin again. Given that SJIS and eucJP are both available, this shoudn't pose a big problem for Japanese users. > LANG=en_US.eucJP > 0000000 71 71 0e e4 b8 80 0a > q q so d 8 nul nl > 0000007 > This must be identical to: > 0000000 71 71 b0 ec 0a > q q 0 l nl > 0000005 This is fixed now in CVS. The fact that eucJP knows triplebyte sequences but the Windows eucJP codepage 20932 does not (converting these widechars to incompatible doublebyte sequences instead) was not really helpful but as far as I can test it, it appears to work now. Please note that eucJP does not work by default on Windows XP and earlier OSes! At least not on the so-called "western languages" installations, US, French, Italian, whatever. The reason is that the codepage 20932 is not installed by default. You can easily install it, though, in the "Regional and Language Options" control panel -> Advanced -> Code page conversion tables. Just click on codepage "20932 (JIS X 0208-1990 & 0212-1990)" and have your XP installation disk ready. So, if you're running XP or earlier, unless you installed CP 20932, eucJP support in Cygwin is as broken as in the underlying Windows.
