If you want cmake to support unicode with configure_file right now, use utf-8, not utf-16. I just tried with a utf-8 file with various non-ascii characters on Windows and configure_file() works for me.
>From your use of "cmd /U", it appears you are attempting to do utf-16 (which >is what Microsoft means when they say "Unicode"), which CMake doesn't support. Support for looking for a BOM in a CMakeLists.txt file was added recently, and it throws an error for utf-16/utf-32 files. Perhaps future versions of CMake will look at the BOM when using configure_file, and I assume it will throw an error on your utf-16 files as well instead of giving you garbage.
