robocopy and source folder name/encoding

On windows 8 I am trying to copy a folder using robocopy

robocopy /MIR /E /DCOPY:T /s "c:\test\xupdate can’t be deployed" "c:\test\out\"

But it fails with:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   ROBOCOPY     ::     Robust File Copy for Windows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Source : C:\test\xupdate canÈÃÍt be deployed
     Dest : C:\test\out\

    Files : *.*

  Options : *.* /S /DCOPY:T /COPY:DAT /PURGE /MIR /R:1000000 /W:30

2015/04/09 10:59:44 ERROR 2 (0x00000002) Accessing Source Directory C:\test\xupdate canÈÃÍt be deployed

The system cannot find the file specified.

So the problem is obviously the ’ character in the source folder name. But why can't robocopy read that character?

Using character set 1252 works on my windows 7 machine.

chcp 1252 

robocopy /MIR /E /DCOPY:T /s "c:\test\xupdate can't be deployed" "c:\test\out"

According to Notepad++ the .bat file is encoded:

UTF-8 without BOM

Result:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I used windows notepad to create the bat file.

Unfortunately I cannot recreate the above when creating a new .bat file with the same encoding. Robocopy fails regardless of encoding, the best I get is:

I have to copy the original .bat files text into a new batch file to get it to work.
