Is there a way to get the right umlaut with the internal echo of the shell?
Example script:
export LC_ALL=de_DE
c:/unix/bin/uname -a
echo "RÃcken" > ttt.txt
cat ttt.txt
c:/unix/bin/od -c ttt.txt
c:/unix/bin/echo "RÃcken"
c:/unix/bin/echo "RÃcken" | c:/unix/bin/od -c
echo "RÃcken"
echo "RÃcken" | c:/unix/bin/od -c
The output is:
CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 WIESWEG 1.7.15(0.260/5/3) 2012-05-09 10:25 i686 Cygwin
RÃcken
0000000 R Ã c k e n \r \n
0000010
RÃcken
0000000 R Ã c k e n \n
0000007
Râcken
0000000 R Ã c k e n \n
0000007
It's strange that the internal echo only gives the right output if its
redirected. Is there a way to get the right output without redirecting?
(I tried output-meta but with no success)
