Emacs has solved that problem as well: the MS-Windows port pretends towards Emacs internals that file names are encoded in UTF-8, and shadows relevant system APIs that accept or return file names, like fopen, opendir/readdir, stat, etc. with its own versions that convert UTF-8 to and from UTF-16 before calling the real OS APIs. Once again, just use that experience, and maybe even some infrastructure code.
