I use auctex plugin for emacs and texlive on both my OSsgnu/linux` and windows. On gnu/linux it works like magic when i try to compile a pdf from a *tex file. On windows (ver. 8.1) if i use cyrillic characters in *tex file name i get this error:

ERROR: Package inputenc Error: Unicode character т (U+0442)

The error tells to see inputenc documentation. I double checked that and found nothing can help. MWE

I had the same problem but with french characters. I had the following very simple file : 

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, draft]{report}

\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{microtype}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\title{Rapport de stage ingénieur}
\author{Léonard Tschora}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
C'est le rapport de stage de Léonard

\end{document}

Which caused the following error in emacs :

ERROR: Package inputenc Error: Invalid UTF-8 byte sequence

Since I know this code is supposed to work becaause I already used it with another IDE, I copied and pasted it to Tex Studio, in which it worked fine. This means the problem came from emacs, probably the way it saves the document.

I checked https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ChangingEncodings and changed the encoding of my file to utf8 (instead of utf-8), and it actually worked!

Hope this helps!
