Below, an example for adding two variables for Cygwin - with it, applications using cygwin1.dll will be able to use UTF-8 character in file and path names:
<source lang="reg>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"CYGWIN"="codepage:utf8"
"LC_CTYPE"="C-UTF-8"
</source>
Import with:
regedit /s "%SOFTWARE%\cygwin.reg
