Is this on MS-Windows?  If so, you cannot invoke programs from Emacs
with command-line arguments encoded in anything but the system
codepage.  And UTF-8 cannot be a system codepage on Windows.

I suggest to put the commit message in a file and use the -F switch to
"git commit".  Or use the built-in VC commands, they will do this
automatically for you (if you have Emacs 25).
