I'm cannot get emacs to open up a file that has a file name
with unicode characters in it. I have created these file
names by copy-paste from the Character Map tool in
Windows. As Emacs has good suupport for reading "unicode
formats" like UTF-8, UTF-16 etc it is a pity that it cannot
open these files.

My emacs version:

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2004-07-09 on FARIBA

OS:

Windows XP

Any suggestions to how I could open these files (other than
renaming them of course) are appreciated.
