M-x manual-entry RET ls RET

The ls or gls commands prefer Latin script US ASCII file names. With  
some extra options it's able to output a bit more characters. The  
next problem is that these byte sequences need to be "translated"  
into glyphs from some font. GNU Emacs 21, 22, and 23 differ a bit in  
this. Experimenting can bring results.

Some settings could help:

        (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
        ;(setq dired-use-ls-dired "/sw/bin/gls --dired")
        (setq insert-directory-program "gls" dired-use-ls-dired t)
        ;   (setq dired-use-ls-dired t)
        ;   (setq insert-directory-program "gls")
         '(find-ls-subdir-switches "-alN")
