Please provide more information, at the very least the complete output of youtube-dl when called with --verbose. For what it's worth, works fine for me:

$ youtube-dl --get-filename J69oCCM1EcI
Hello Sleepwalkers「午夜の待ち合わせ」MUSIC VIDEO-J69oCCM1EcI.mp4

I've completely forgot my OS : Windows 7 64 bits. I made the same command and special chars didn't display.
Title : Hello SleepwalkersMUSIC VIDEO.mp4

Command : C:\Users\User\Downloads\youtube-dl\youtube-dl.exe --no-playlist --buffer-size 500000000 --no-cache-dir -o "C:\Users\User\Desktop%(title)s.%(ext)s" --console-title -v --print-traffic --no-call-home --youtube-skip-dash-manifest --add-metadata

As I wrote, we need the complete output. That output should start with something along the lines of [debug] System config: []. You can use shell redirection to save the whole output if you are unable otherwise.

I used
youtube-dl --no-playlist --buffer-size 500000000 --no-cache-dir -o "C:\Users\User\Desktop%(title)s.%(ext)s" --console-title -v --print-traffic --no-call-home --youtube-skip-dash-manifest --add-metadata https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J69oCCM1EcI > output.txt

I don't know why first elements aren't here.

The only way I found at the moment is a screenshot :

All other informations are in the output.txt

It's possible Windows-1252 is the problem. Also, I tried with --encoding UTF-8 mentioned as experimental, the problem is here again.

Duplicate of #5045.
This is intentional behavior for now. See #4787 for the rationale and #5527 for alternative solution discussions.
