Yes, the default code page for the command prompt uses so-called OEM
encoding, and GUI programs uses another one, which MS calls as "ANSI"
encoding. However, if you use Cygwin, then you have ANSI encoding in
the command prompt. So, in the same command prompt window, you can have
Cygwin programs using one encoding and other window console programs
using a different encoding.


Some people tried to set the current code page to 65001, which is
the Microsoft code page for UTF-8. However, it seems that does not
work very well.

It seems to me that Win32 API functions work correctly with
UTF-8 (after all, they are just wrappers over UTF-16 functions),
but Microsoft's C library cannot handle UTF-8 (or any other
encoding that requires more than two bytes per character).


There is a patch for Cygwin that adds UTF-8 support for it, however,
Cygwin maintainers do not like it, so it is not integrated. I think
Cygwin 1.7 will support UTF-8, but I have no idea how soon it will be
released.

I don't know much about mingw, but if I am not mistaken, mingw relies
on Microsoft's C library, so I suppose it uses an "OEM" code page for
console programs by default.
