After updating I added following lines on top of my script:
 export LANG=C.UTF-8
 echo LANG: $LANG
 echo LC_CTYPE: $LC_TYPE
 c:/unix/bin/gawk --version | head -1

And this is my output:
 LANG: C.UTF-8
 LC_CTYPE:
 GNU Awk 4.0.1
 CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 WIESWEG 1.7.15(0.260/5/3) 2012-05-09 10:25 i686 Cygwin
 0000000   R 374   c   k   e   n  \r  \n
 0000010
 Length: 5

Very strange!

But after adding
 export LC_CTYPE=C
I got the correct result.

Thanks for your quick help!
