Not on MS-Windows with the native Windows build of Emacs, AFAIK. I
think you will need a Cygwin build of Emacs for that, and perhaps also
a newer Cygwin Grep.
Emacs on Windows cannot invoke subprograms with command-line arguments
encoded in anything but the system codepage. And Windows doesn't
support UTF-8 as the system codepage. Sorry.
