std::cout does not understand UTF-8. That's why glibmm tries to do a
conversion (with the Glib::convert_*() functions. That's documented by
the way:
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/glibmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGlib_1_1ustring.html#_details

But I don't know why the conversion is failing in your case. Maybe it's
a problem with the glib installation on windows.
