It can't be fixed easily. Basically avoid by any price to use Unicode
names for the filenames of your projects.

As it may (very often) works smoothly on most unices, it won't work
ever using current releases or master on Windows. One has to set the
correct codepage and do the conversion from/to UTF-8.
