I am not an expert for Windows character set encodings, but is seems that
you use the UTF-8 encoding whereas Windows uses UTF-16 encoding. 

GnuPG does nothing special with the filenames, it takes them as they are
and passes them verbatim to the Windows system fucntion for file
handling and console output.  I don't know wether tehre is a way to pput
the Windows shell in an UTF-8 mode.
