Unicode in filenames? Are you crazy?!

Okay that was /s to some extent but I gotta rant, I'm totally convinced that there's still new software today that completely trip over themselves when files or paths have non-ASCII characters, or sometimes even a space. Incompetence didn't go anywhere.

Now that's certainly true, but the beauty of open source software is that we can fix bugs when we encounter them.
