Emacs on Windows currently supports only file names that can be expressed in the system codepage. So unless someone writes the code to support the Unicode APIs throughout, this limitation will remain for some time to come.

Yes, but the Explorer and the Notepad are about the only programs tha= t do. Many others don't. Emacs is one of them. Sorry.
