Hi,

Is there a chance to get Unicode with cygwin to work?

Nowadays Unicode support is a fundamental component in modern software; 
All state-of-the art operating systems support Unicode. I do not 
understand why cygwin lacks this support.

Unfortunately also this solution seems to be dead:
http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/

Is there a reason why this solution is not implemented in the official 
cygwin?

Regards,
Luke
