This has been discussed before I think. It has to do with how you
configured your system (what encoding) and how consisteltly you take
that into account. If you have some mixed setup, just don't use non-ascii.
Anyway, in LMTX all file, commandline and systemn operations are utf 8
and on windows get translated into wide system calls so there it should
work ok if you use utf8.
