This is because ls(1) filters output with isprint(3) and is not aware of locales (i.e. it does not call setlocale(3)). Run pkg_add colorls and alias ls=colorls if you need multi-byte ls output. Please do not start a discussion about adding this feature to base ls(1) unless you're willing to invest a non-trivial amount of time and energy working on improved locale support for the entire OS. It's already been discussed before.
