I presume you're running non-English Win9* system.
The most clean way out in such a situation is to install a Win32/Cygwin
port of rxvt and run bash in in, with the keyboard switched to En(glish).

(the problem you describe is indeed a terminal emulation problem,
as you cannot run MSDOS prompt with the keyboard switched to nondefault
language settings. But it's a Microsoft problem, not a Cygwin problem,
IMHO)
