Support for non-ASCII characters was mixed. Some gexp forms did support them,
while others did not. Combined with current value for
%default-port-conversion-strategy, that sometimes led to unpleasant surprises.
For example:
(scheme-file "utf8" #~(with-output-to-file #$output
(λ _ (display "?"))))
Was written to the store as:
((? _ (display "\u732b")))
No, that is not font issue on your part, that is an actual #\? instead of the
lambda character. Which, surprisingly, does not do what it should when
executed.
The solution is to switch to C.UTF-8 locale where possible, since it is now
always available. Or to explicitly set the port encoding.
No tests are provided, since majority of tests/gexp.scm use guile in version
2, and it tends to work under it. The issues occur mostly with guile 3.
I did test it locally using:

Which is actually what the user would expect.
I also added missing arguments to the documentation.
* guix/gexp.scm (computed-file): Set LANG to C.UTF-8 by default.
(compiled-modules): Try to `setlocale'.
(gexp->script), (gexp->file): New `locale' argument defaulting to C.UTF-8.
(text-file*): Set output port encoding to UTF-8.
* doc/guix.texi (G-Expressions)[computed-file]: Document the changes. Use
@var. Document #:guile.
[gexp->script]: Document #:locale. Fix default value for #:target.
[gexp->file]: Document #:locale, #:system and #:target.
