Sorry, I don't follow: where exactly is the problem--in Vim or in the
stand-alone Info reader that comes with the Texinfo distribution?

AFAIK, the stand-alone Info reader is 8-bit clean (at least as of
version 4.0), so you should have no problems displaying any character
your codepage supports.  But I didn't try that.
