Filesystem encoding on windows is always mbcs (roughly the same as UTF-16). Terminal encoding is OEM by default, so cp850 is Latin-1 OEM encoding. It's correct. Corresponding ANSI encoding (used by GUI) will be cp1252 (Latin-1 ANSI encoding). OS Windows has no explicit support for utf-8 encoding.

The lists of supported ANSI and OEM encodings:
