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.
