  Open the file with :utf8 layer.
open my $fh, '<:utf8', "C:\my\file";
this should also fix the problems when LANG is set to C.

  The reason is: when wxPerl receives a Perl string marked as
characters, it treats the contents as Unicode; when the string
is marked as bytes, it interprets it using the currently set locale.
