I understand that cygwin has limited support for locale, but even so, many small utilities in cygwin packages can work with UTF-8, such as sed, awk, perl, ruby, grep, cat, head, tail, less(with LESSCHARSET="utf-8") and so on. These are the things used very often inside xterm, and that is when "-u8" is needed.
I will be glad if UTF-8 support is turned back on again, maybe in future updates.
