But today I've taken a look to Cygwin's locales more closely and found
out that I've used incorrect encoding name (`iso88595` instead of "canonic"
`iso-8859-5` that Cygwin has and "understands")
Nevertheless, as I've already said that is not a Russian locale specific
issue.
The problem in tests for me now is a language (that uses iso-8859-1
encoding) I do not speak or even write ;)
Many of the people on thee list don't, either, and that is perfectly
OK.
For the purpose of the test, "áëîõù" should be sufficient. In a
sense, using such an artificial string would make it even clearer
than a real message that what we are testing, no?
