You could also try setting "chcp 1252" or (if that's what it is for
Unicode) "chcp 10646" either before starting Vim, or, if you use gvim,
in a batfile before invoking robocopy, maybe as follows:

-- ROBOCOPY.BAT ----------
chcp 1252
robocopy.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
-- ROBOCOPY.BAT -- END -----

(assuming that your robocopy program is a binary executable, not a bat
or perl or python etc. script, and that you start it with no more than
9 command-line arguments). You would then invoke robocopy.bat
explicitly _with_ the .bat extension in your Vim job-start command,
and that .bat file would set code page 1252 (which Vim ought to be
able to read with no trouble) then it would pass its command-line
arguments (if any) to the .exe program.


Best regards,
Tony.
