Hello Manfred,
thank you, Manfred, I'm a little bit proud to be quoted by you. :-)
There is another tough guy (SteveKing) who brought even more
light into this:

I think, up to know, this issue is handled more and more. Shall it go into
the FAQ? Maybe like:
Question:
My svn command line client und windows claims about beeing unable to convert to/from UTF-8.
What do I have to do?
Solution:
Check the environment variable APR_ICONV_PATH. It shall point to
the iconv - directory shippping with your subversion installation. Please also
check if TortoiseSVN (<1.1.0) ist installed, which modifies the APR_ICONV_PATH
variable.
For a standard installation, the following command issued on command line shall
do the right:
set APR_ICONV_PATH=C:\Program Files\Subversion\iconv
Best Regards
Christian
