I installed from Git-2.16.2-64-bit.exe from git-scm.com. iconv is included in this package. I think iconv should have the encoding ISO646-SE2. Ubuntu 16.04 has this encoding. I use it to read old Swedish text files, which there are a lot of e.g.:
curl -s https://www.abc.se/programbanken/abc/abc80/asmkod/basicii.txt | dos2unix | iconv -f ISO646-SE2 -t UTF8 | less
ISO646-SE2 is used by e.g. the computers Luxor ABC80 and ABC800-series. At my university we only have Git Bash and not Ubuntu for WSL.

(Not clear where I should report this, but one should be able to report issues with the configuration of the other programs than git in the package somewhere. If there is a better place, please let me know.)

Hey @mobluse,

Thanks for reporting your issue.

As you can see in the issue template, this repository issue tracker should only be used to report problems found on the git-scm website (https://git-scm.com/).

From what I understood from your description, I would say this fits into 'Git specific issues', which should be raised with the community (https://git-scm.com/community).

Let us know if we can help in anything else

I think https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/new is the correct place to report this as the bug report affects packaging in Git-for-windows, not directly core git?
