rem2ps doesn't handle UTF-8 nor ISO-8825-1.  It might handle ISO-8859-1.

But you should be using rem2pdf instead; it properly handles UTF-8.  And
if you need PostScript, there are many tools to convert PDF to PostScript.

rem2ps is not undegoing further development; any new features will be added
to rem2pdf.
