title: Git: content of files not displaying non ASCII characters correctly
body: <p>I have an Android project and I am using Git in Ubuntu.</p>
  
  <p>I can commit my project just fine and read it correctly on github.com</p>
  
  <p>But when I download it on Windows or Mac, I get some characters encoded differently (this for string in .java files for example, but not in strings.xml).</p>
  
  <p>Researching I got to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5854967/git-msysgit-accents-utf-8-the-definitive-answers">this stackoverflow question</a>, which led me to this page: <a href="https://github.com/kblees/git/wiki" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/kblees/git/wiki</a>. But here they only talk about file names being encoded differently and commit messages. What I need to know is how to fix the <strong>content of the files</strong> that are being downloaded to Windows and Mac</p>
  
  <p>I'm assuming is due to something I need to set on Git.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help</p>
