To get accented letters on bash via Cygwin using Mintty 1.1.2 just do the following: Go to the menu (if you don’t see any menu, right click on your Terminal). Click Options…. Click Text. Change the Locale to C. Change the Character set to ISO-8859-1 (Western European). Then test it:
You need to specify the re.UNICODE flag, and input your string as a Unicode string by using the u prefix: >>> re.match(r’^/by_tag/(?P<tag>\w+)/(?P<filename>(\w|[.,!#%{}()@])+)$’, u’/by_tag/påske/øyfjell.jpg’, re.UNICODE).groupdict() {‘tag’: u’p\xe5ske’, ‘filename’: u’\xf8yfjell.jpg’} This is in Python 2; in Python 3 you must leave out the u because all strings are Unicode, and you can leave off the re.UNICODE flag.
Try the following: hashtags = re.findall(r’#(\w+)’, str1, re.UNICODE) Regex101 Demo EDIT Check the useful comment below from Martijn Pieters.
Because conversion of wide characters is done according to the currently set locale. By default a C program always starts with a “C” locale which only supports ASCII characters. You have to switch to any Russian or UTF-8 locale first: setlocale(LC_ALL, “ru_RU.utf8”); // Russian Unicode setlocale(LC_ALL, “en_US.utf8”); // English US Unicode Or to a current … Read more
If you care about portability, you’ll drop echo and use printf(1): printf ‘\012’
I think I figured it out. I learned from here that each arrow key is represented by a unique ANSI escape code. Then I learned that the ANSI escape codes vary by system and application: in my terminal, hitting cat and pressing the up-arrow gives ^[[A, in C it seems to be \033[A, etc. The … Read more

Strictly speaking URIs can’t contain non-ASCII characters; what you have there is an IRI. To convert an IRI to a plain ASCII URI: non-ASCII characters in the hostname part of the address have to be encoded using the Punycode-based IDNA algorithm; non-ASCII characters in the path, and most of the other parts of the address … Read more
