Aside from changing the encoding and keymap, have you changed which
font Vim is using? Last time I used Vim on a Windows box it used the
Fixedsys font (at least, I think it was Fixedsys..) by default, which
doesn't have all of the characters you need. So, for example, every
time I type in another language -- Vietnamese, which needs lots of
extra characters too -- I change the encoding to UTF-8, set the
keymap, and change the font to something better. I really like 'Droid
Sans Mono', but 'Courier New' will do in a pinch ;)
