I want to share binary built under Cygwin 2.6.0 with other user, that has no LANG set. In previous version all binaries worked correctly with UTF-8 input text. But now this doesn't work as expected.
Some more simple tests. // Run Windows console. cmd C:\Cygwin_2.6.0\bin\echo ±5° ▒▒5▒▒ C:\Cygwin_2.6.0\bin\echo ±5°|C:\Cygwin_2.6.0\bin\grep . ▒▒5▒▒ // Bad in Cywgin 2.6.0. Maybe this is UTF-8? See below. // Now try in previous version. C:\Cygwin_2.5.2\bin\echo ±5° ±5° C:\Cygwin_2.5.2\bin\echo ±5°|C:\Cygwin_2.5.2\bin\grep . ±5° // Good in Cygwin 2.5.2. // Looks like changing console to UTF-8 codepage may fix the issue? chcp 65001 Active code page: 65001 C:\Cygwin_2.6.0\bin\echo ±5° ▒▒5▒▒ C:\Cygwin_2.6.0\bin\echo ±5°|C:\Cygwin_2.6.0\bin\grep . ▒▒5▒▒ echo ±5° ±5° echo ±5°|C:\Cygwin_2.6.0\bin\grep . ▒▒5▒▒ // Bad in Cygwin 2.6.0. Seems this is not UTF-8, just broken text. // Now try in previous version. C:\Cygwin_2.5.2\bin\echo ±5° ±5° C:\Cygwin_2.5.2\bin\echo ±5°|C:\Cygwin_2.5.2\bin\grep . ±5° echo ±5° ±5° echo ±5°|C:\Cygwin_2.5.2\bin\grep . ±5° // Works good in Cygwin 2.5.2 even with native "echo", because it produces UTF-8 now.
