This sounds like issue 345 [1]. Windows natively uses UTF-16 to encode
Unicode, so the preferred way to handle Unicode encoding in Windows is
wide characters, however it would require a lot of changes to curl and
libcurl to support that. Windows also supports characters encoded using
local code pages (known as misleading "ANSI"). They have UTF-8 as a code
page but it doesn't work very well (see the issue), for example you
can't set the locale of a program to UTF-8.
