I used mintty -- default in cygwin installation as I understand. I switch layouts by switching keyboard mappings, mappings are customized from the standard ones to what is called "phonetic" for non-Latin alphabets but this is handled just fine everywhere outside Cygwin. I will be guessing here what you request from me but I attempted to type in UTF-8 август, basically Russian in all small letters for August as a more or less random but valid example. FIlename I was looking for contains this string and filename is presented correctly as all others are with ls but I cannot type this string in cygwin's prompt.
I hope we are coming closer to the cause here.
