Re: The C locale
If I switch the console font to Lucida, I can see the Euro sign, too
(even on XP Pro). But mixing and matching with Cygwin doesn't work
well
H:\>echo â | c:\cygwin\bin\od -t x1
0000000 3f 20 0d 0a
(the Cygwin process saw the Euro sign as a question mark)
but
H:\>c:\cygwin\bin\echo â | c:\cygwin\bin\od -t x1
0000000 e2 82 ac 0a
which is the proper UTF-8 encoding of the Euro sign. So the output of
a Windows process coming in through a pipe is treated differently than
input from the Windows console.
