I tried to find some files from the command line prompt which are named
using various non-Latin (Russian, Hebrew, Arabic) and non-default Latin
(German) layouts under Windows 10 Enterprise using recent cygwin version
and the outcome is that instead of representing letters I see control
characters of the type: \263\320\321 (Unicode numeric value of the
letters?). Any ideas what happens here and how correct functionality can be
restored?
Which command line prompt(s): cmd, mintty, rxvt, xterm, ...?
Where and how did you switch layouts: Windows keyboard mapping, Windows system
locale, Windows user regional settings, chcp, LANG, LC_CTYPE, LC_ALL, ...?
If you are using a terminal, what are the terminal locale and code page
settings?
Maybe you could explicitly show and tell us what characters you used (sending in
hex please and also in 8bit UTF-8 for maximum readability: that looks like octal
which went out with ASCII, ISO-646, SBCS code pages), show us how the filenames
appear including the locales and the shell command lines, and show and tell us
what you expect, and what is the difference in what you see.
