Using uft8 encoded strings in windows filesystem

I've got a project which is completely enconded in UTF-8. The database
and the served pages are in this encoding. But when using filesystem
functions like mkdir() fopen(), etc. -UNDER WINDOWS- it produces wrong
file and directory names.

If I mkdir('日本語') the directory 日本語 is created in the
filesystem.

This does not seem a filesystem limitation as if I create manually
from the windows explorer a directory with the same name, the
directory is created correctly.

How can i write my utf filenames as they are?
.
