It should work with UTF, but can you change the WIFI name to something that only uses ASCII? Just to see if the UTF characters are the problem here.

UTF character "č" is problem. SSID "Buckovi" working.

Since you can't get it working with iwconfig from the command line either, i don't think there is much we can do about it .
