RE: utf-8



Thanks Corinna for the prompt reply & Sorry if i sounded too harsh(erratic)
while asking about utf support in cygwin !!

Actually i was trying a few commands (cp, cat, cut, etc) on a file
containing utf-8/utf-16/SHIF-JIS data (containing Japanese names) on win NT
(japanese) machine.
 The commands worked fine for for each encoding except for utf-8

I am not able to understand what could be the reason for utilities
supporting utf-16 , but not utf-8 & are they really tested to work on that
??

A bit of descriptive reply by anyone would be appreciated !!

Thanks & Regards,
Rajat Bawa

Sure.  Nobody contributed code for it.
