Take the 2-minute tour ×  I don't understand why unicode is not
working in my MinTTY terminal. I am using Windows XP  I have
Cygwin v1.7.10 and MinTTY v1.0.3. Am also using the zsh shell
(via "oh-my-zsh")  I have set local to "en_US" and the character
set to "UTF-8" in the MinTTY settings dialog.  When I am at the
MinTTY terminal, this is the output of the following environment
variables:  echo $LC_ALL  echo $LC_CTYPE  echo $LANG  Yet when I
am viewing files with unicode I can't see the symbols. As well,
the default prompt for "oh-my-zsh" uses unicode, and that also
is not working.  Does anyone know what could be wrong?  Can
anyone confirm that unicode does work on a similar setup?
share|improve this question What are the symbols you're
expecting to see, and what do you get instead? It could be that
the font you're using doesn't have glyphs for those symbols, so
you could try different fonts. DejaVu Sans Mono has particularly
good Unicode coverage. –  ak2 Feb 28 '12 at 14:04 Nothing too
