Yes, it works under mintty.

cat, od, etc. are works even if they are started from tcsh.

I'm using Microsoft-made IME (MS-IME).

I confirmed the issue does not occur in the combination of:
Debian/sid + xterm 349 + tcsh 6.21.00
Debian/buster + xterm 344 + tcsh 6.20.00

Therefore, this may be a cygwin dedicated issue.

Wait. I have just found /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm has a entry
*VT100*eightBitInput: false
which is added from cygwin xterm 348-1.

Removing this line or changing the value to true solves this issue.

Katsumi, could you please check if this solves the issue?
