Which command line prompt(s): cmd, mintty, rxvt, xterm, ...?

Where and how did you switch layouts: Windows keyboard mapping, Windows system 
locale, Windows user regional settings, chcp, LANG, LC_CTYPE, LC_ALL, ...?

If you are using a terminal, what are the terminal locale and code page settings?

Maybe you could explicitly show and tell us what characters you used (sending in 
hex please and also in 8bit UTF-8 for maximum readability: that looks like octal 
which went out with ASCII, ISO-646, SBCS code pages), show us how the filenames 
appear including the locales and the shell command lines, and show and tell us 
what you expect, and what is the difference in what you see.

For details on Cygwin file name special character mappings, see:
