Yes, you have to replace that single line with two commands. With utf8 for you the command should be:
By the way, if I try copying files with "strange characters" on my box I don't experiment your issue: I can simply use "strange characters" in the cp command and it works perfectly (I'm using an utf8 locale too). Are you using an utf8-aware terminal (like KDE's Konsole or similar)? Maybe you are using an utf8 locale but your terminal doesn't support it or it is not configured correctly.

encode::gsm03385.12
Encode::GSM0338(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Encode::GSM0338(3pm)NAME
Encode::GSM0338 -- ESTI GSM 03.38 Encoding
SYNOPSIS
use Encode qw/encode decode/;
$gsm0338 = encode("gsm0338", $utf8); # loads Encode::GSM0338 implicitly
$utf8 = decode("gsm0338", $gsm0338); # ditto
DESCRIPTION
GSM0338 is for GSM handsets. Though it shares alphanumerals with ASCII, control character ranges and other parts are mapped very
differently, mainly to store Greek characters. There are also escape sequences (starting with 0x1B) to cover e.g. the Euro sign.
This was once handled by Encode::Bytes but because of all those unusual specifications, Encode 2.20 has relocated the support to this
module.
NOTES
Unlike most other encodings, the following aways croaks on error for any $chk that evaluates to true.
$gsm0338 = encode("gsm0338", $utf8 $chk);
$utf8 = decode("gsm0338", $gsm0338, $chk);
So if you want to check the validity of the encoding, surround the expression with "eval {}" block as follows;
eval {
$utf8 = decode("gsm0338", $gsm0338, $chk);
};
if ($@){
# handle exception here
}
BUGS
ESTI GSM 03.38 Encoding itself.
Mapping x00 to '@' causes too much pain everywhere.
Its use of x1b (escape) is also very questionable.
Because of those two, the code paging approach used use in ucm-based Encoding SOMETIMES fails so this module was written.
