Are you running the Cygwin 1.7 beta? 1.5 doesn't support locales. ('uname -r' will tell you.) > in my .bashrc file: > export LANG=3D"th_TH.UTF-8" You could set LANG instead of LC_CTYPE in cygwin.bat. The difference is that setting LANG affects all locale-specific behaviours, e.g. it will enable Thai user interfaces and messages in programs that have translations for it. LC_CTYPE only sets the encoding and a couple of other things regarding character processing. If LANG is set, you don't need LC_CTYPE. > export OUTPUT_CHARSET=3D"UTF-8" I don't know whether anything actually uses this. You'd probably be fine without it.
