I tried this, and it works for me:

  $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b /dev/vg_pin/F16x64 chinese-chars.img
  Formatting 'chinese-chars.img', fmt=qcow2 size=21474836480 backing_file='/dev/vg_pin/F16x64' encryption=off cluster_size=65536 
  $ guestfish -a chinese-chars.img -i touch "/马磊"
  $ guestfish --ro -a chinese-chars.img -i

What are your language settings, eg. the locale and the environment
variables $LANG etc?  You can find out by running the 'locale'
command:

  $ locale
  LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
  LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_ALL=
