in xetex and luatex that is possible, since they are no longer 8 bit, 
but even then there is the problem of the underlying operating system 
that needs to use the same encoding for filenames as your tex document 
that uses such files (in for instance \input)

You can just try what happens when you use such names (and use "" around 
them).
