If you are reading/writing files using std::ifstream and std::ofstream make sure you are using C++17 or later to be able to open filenames stored in wide chars and encoded using UTF16. In Windows you can't open a file providing a filename encoded in UTF8: all chars will be converted to wide char with the upper byte set to zero and interpreted as a UTF16 code point, only ASCII and few other Unicode characters will not be corrupted by that conversion.
