Ok, as I suspected, this was really, not and ESS problem. With option

(setq process-coding-system-alist '(("R.*" . latin-7))

in my .emacs file, emacs sets process coding system to latin-7, when R 
is started. Still for me the problem (using unicode without hassle) is 
only half solved, but I think that is Windows problem. Unicode support 
in Vista is code, but definitely not Uni. R is still not Unicode under 
Windows, because of legacy systems (Windows 98), and Emacs (and Vim) 
still does not work correctly out of the box, as it does in Linux.
