The 1252 there indicates that your locale is not using
Unicode but it's using the Windows code page 1252:

I don't know why Gvim on windows uses Windows code page
by default and not Unicode. It's annoying. Is it Windows fault or
Vim fault? I'm also surprised that I don't see LC_MESSAGES=...

I remember that I had the same problem on Windows XP,
and that for me setting the LANG env variable to fr_FR.UTF-8
worked. I'm not sure why it's not working for you and I don't have
a Windows machine to try again.

I found this http://superuser.com/questions/207264/gvim-utf-8-in-windows
which describe the same problem. The solution seems to
be to install libiconv (iconv.dll) as described in above link.

That's good at least.

By the way, you never indicated what version of Vim you're using.
(output of :version)
