Git for Windows under ConEmu : can't type any accent without it being replaced by "é" (for é)

[Baldurien]

Hello,

Since the new version (git version 2.11.0.windows.1) on WIndows 7 with ConEmu 161203, I can not type accent without them being replaced by their UTF-8 "ASCII" counterpart (eg:  é -> é, è -> è, etc). The git bash (mintty) emulator works as well as Git CMD.

It seems that msys/git for windows no longer recognize ConEmu as unicode (while it is/was). 

After some checks, setting LC_ALL to C.UTF-8 (instead of "C") fix the problem.

Why the change in behavior ?

Regards,

Baldurien

I've found one reason to NOT set locale to C.UTF-8: under Git bash, here's the result:

[23:43:38] /tmp [1.8.0_112]

$ locale

LANG=en_US.utf8

LC_ALL=C

[23:43:41] /tmp [1.8.0_112]

$ find a

find: 'a': No such file or directory

[23:43:43] /tmp [1.8.0_112]

$ export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

[23:43:54] /tmp [1.8.0_112]

$ find a

find: âaâ: No such file or directory

Find display accentuated a letters that should read as (here, under ConEMU with LC_ALL=C.UTF-8):

$ find a

find: ‘a’: No such file or directory

=> mintty does not use Unicode by default. The character set is not properly set:

To amend my answer: "mintty does not use Unicode by default. The character set is not properly set, and should be set to UTF-8 in the options (see screenshot)"
