How do I change charset / locale in conemu?

Question

I am using gitbash via conemu.

I have a charset issue where the chars look wrong in gitbash via conemu and gitbash directly.

I fixed it in gitbash by setting the locale in .minttyrc to ..

BoldAsFont=-1 Locale=en_US Charset=UTF-8

But this doesn't fix it in gitbash when launched via conemu.

Any ideas where I would change conemu settings to address locale or to get it to pick up .minttyrc settings?

Check then if git bash still display the wrong charset.

thanks man ... 4 hours later .... export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 ... did the job ...... worth noting that ..... locale -a ...... outputs available locales
