I'm skeptical about surrogates particularly for that problem.
From my perspective the solution is only to use native unicode support for windows file operation functions.
Conversions utf-8 -> mbcs -> utf8 will loose encoding information thanks to tricky Microsoft mbcs encoding schema.
If I'm wrong please correct me.
