Cygwin command not found bad characters found in .bashrc 357\273\277

Question

I\'m new to Cygwin, I just installed it and attempted to set some simple environment variables. However, when I open the command shell, I get the error \"#357\\273\\277 com

Answer 1

It looks like if I change the encoding from UTF-8 to ANSI (not the view preferences), the file will update and the special characters are gone, fixing the "\357\273\277 command not found" issue. Hooray!
