Well, the "system" charset should be set in your "country settings",
or something, but it's been years and years since I left Windows (XP
SP4) for Linux, and I can't check it here.

On a Unix-like system you would set the LC_CTYPE environment variable
to the desired locale (such as fr_FR.UTF-8) before starting the
program, and that would be that; maybe setting ":language ctype
fr_FR.UTF-8" would be enough; but Windows is decidedly non-Unix-like
and doesn't work the same way. Assuming that you have set 'encoding'
to UTF-8 in your vimrc, you might try something like ":language ctype
French_France.10646", or something, before starting the job, but I'm
not sure of the settings to use for Windows (maybe ":language ctype"
with no furter argument might help you), and I'm not sure of which
Windows "code page" means UTF-8, or at least some Unicode encoding
with BOM. You might fall back on 1252 for the codepage (the value
after the dot) when starting Robocopy (but come back to UTF-8
immediately afterwards): that codepage corresponds to the charset
known internationally as "Windows-1252", it is an 8-bit encoding very
similar to Latin1 — the Windows salespeople claim that it is what
Latin1 ought to be, or sometimes they even gloss over the difference,
which concerns only characters 0x80 to 0x9F: these are rarely-used
controls in "true" Latin1 but in Windows-1252 they are additional
printable characters, including among others the Euro sign and IIRC
the œ and Œ digraphs.

Best regards,
Tony.
