For 'ls' you may wish to use the --show-control-chars flag.  For bash (or,
rather, readline), you will need all four of

set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set input-meta on
set output-meta on

(see <http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC46>), and/or the respective
manpages.

When you say "DOS box", I presume you mean the actual Windows Command
Prompt window, so looks like your problem is with bash.  Since you seem to
have the same behavior in console, xterm, and rxvt, this doesn't look like
a font issue.  If the above doesn't help, please post the exact steps to
reproduce the problem.
