FAQ 10 describes how special characters are handled.

I think this is FAQ #18 since Windows is mentioned.

Windows CMD is has a lot of problems when it comes to non-ASCII characters.  The options in FAQ 18 may help.

In my case, those options never did work, but this StackOverflow answer fixed the problem for me.  Unfortunately, it also has the side effect of causing some display problems in some older programs.  If you use that option, you'll have to test it and see if the problems are acceptable.

Another alternative is to encode the problematic characters as HTML entities and use the -E (-escapeHTML) option.  For example
-CopyrightNotice="Acervo Sesc Memórias"
would become
-E -CopyrightNotice="Acervo Sesc Memórias"
or
-E -CopyrightNotice="Acervo Sesc Memórias"
