Try creating files with non-ASCII characters in the name to see the effect.

How can one turn off the warning?

Ignore the warning, it is completely bogus, because every other IO charset leads to incorrect display (as in: "ls" output) of filenames created under Windows. See the bottom of http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.3/chapter08/fstab.html, and note that Debian has configured the kernel to use the utf8 iocharset by default.
