This problem is neither related to locale settings, nor to character set 
or font settings of mintty.
Note that 'net' is not a cygwin program but a Windows program.
As such, it has its very own idea of how to configure output character 
encoding which is unrelated to cygwin locale settings.
You can try to issue 'chcp.com 65001' in the Cygwin terminal. This helps 
for *some* Windows programs but not for many. I'm not sure right now 
whether 'net' belongs to them.
