The command was "ls Vid\éos". It displayed the files in that
directory.

Yes, so am I.
> Why `shell-quote-argument' escape such characters?
Because it wants to play safe. In a Posix shell, any non-special
character preceded with a backslash stands for itself, I'm sure you
know that. Backslash-escaping anything that is not in the Posix
character set avoids too much knowledge about the underlying shell's
special characters, and should be harmless if the escaped characters
are not special.
