What happens if you insert the following command here?

  C:\Users\Günter> chcp 1252

I suspect you are correct that the problem lies in differing coding
systems, but I don't think it is a Unicode vs "ANSI" issue, but "ANSI"
vs "OEM". (I put those names in quotes because they are the names used
by Microsoft to describe various codepages used by Windows, although
they have nothing to do with the American National Standards Institute
or Original Equipment Manufacturers).
