Nice++ But I think that you are confusing things by mentioning chcp. It isn't necessary, at least for this particular accented character (which I typed manually using alt-graph-o in each case shown): 

c:\test>dir ac*/b
File Not Found

c:\test>chcp 850 & echo this is acentó.dat >acentó.dat 
        & perl -we"open I,$ARGV[0]; print while<I>" acentó.dat & del a
+c*
Active code page: 850
this is acentó.dat

c:\test>chcp 437 & echo this is acentó.dat >acentó.dat 
      & perl -we"open I,$ARGV[0]; print while<I>" acentó.dat & del ac*
Active code page: 437
this is acentó.dat

c:\test>chcp 1250 & echo this is acentó.dat >acentó.dat 
        & perl -we"open I,$ARGV[0]; print while<I>" acentó.dat & del a
+c*
Active code page: 1250
this is acent&#728;.dat

c:\test>chcp 1252 & echo this is acentó.dat >acentó.dat 
        & perl -we"open I,$ARGV[0]; print while<I>" acentó.dat & del a
+c*
Active code page: 1252
this is acentó.dat
