export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 gives following output:

 C:\>bash ttt.sh
 CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 WIESWEG 1.7.15(0.260/5/3) 2012-05-09 10:25 i686 Cygwin

How do I check that my terminal setting is UTF-8 both for input/output?
All settings I use are made in inputrc:
 C:\>cat ~/.inputrc
 set meta-flag on
 set convert-meta off
 set output-meta on
And in my environment variables:
 ...
 BASH=/usr/bin/sh
 BASHOPTS=cmdhist:expand_aliases:extquote:force_fignore:hostcomplete:interactive
 _comments:progcomp:promptvars:sourcepath
 BASH_ALIASES=()
 BASH_ARGC=()
 BASH_ARGV=()
 BASH_CMDS=()
 BASH_LINENO=()
 BASH_SOURCE=()
 BASH_VERSINFO=([0]="4" [1]="1" [2]="10" [3]="4" [4]="release" [5]="i686-
 pc-cygwin")
 BASH_VERSION='4.1.10(4)-release'
 ...
 CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning
 ...
 POSIXLY_CORRECT=y
 ...
 SHELL=/bin/bash
 SHELLOPTS=braceexpand:emacs:hashall:histexpand:history:interactive-
 comments:monitor:posix
 ...
 TERM=cygwin
 ....

Do you use rxvt, mintty or something like that?
