That means you’re running under the built-in Windows console, not MinTTY, which means you don’t get UTF-8 support by default.

You could try “chcp 65001” but the real fix is to use MinTTY.  MinTTY has *many* features not available in the Windows Console.  Even the vastly upgraded version included with Windows 10 is a pale wannabe compared to MinTTY.  man mintty for details.

Careful, there.  Unix is traditionally case-sensitive, and some programs coming from that tradition treat .C files differently from .c files.  One such tool is gcc, which will interpret your file as C++ even if you invoke it as gcc instead of g++.

GNU make also assumes .C is C++.

C++ is not 100% forwards compatible with C:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_of_C_and_C%2B%2B

On Windows, NTFS is case-insensitive by default, but also case-preserving, so saving a file as *.C will invoke this automatic C++ treatment under Cygwin.

This may be a Windows Console bug, too.  Again, switch to MinTTY.  It’s the default for a reason.
