Files with Chinese character in name - issues reading and writing

[brownbat]

v.1.37.1 on Win 10 (latest updates).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new text file tmp.txt.
2. Add "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet," to the body and save.
3. (Optionally -- confirm UTF-8 encoding, this does not seem to be an internal encoding issue.)
4. (Optionally -- reopen file to confirm it is working as expected.)
5. Close file and rename to tmp子.txt (or several other Chinese characters... or hangul, such as tmp점.txt... maybe any non-latin?)
6. (Optionally -- confirm notepad.exe can open file and display contents.)
7. Open file using Geany.

Expected:
See original lorem text.

Actual:
See empty file.
(Optionally -- confirm encoding unchanged here.)

7b. Attempt to edit and save:

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Error saving file.
Error opening file “<dir>\tmp?.txt”: Input/output error

The file on disk may now be truncated!
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

8. Close file without save.
9. Rename file to just "tmp.txt". Open file, see original input.

I searched for existing issues but might not have used the right keywords, sorry if this is a duplicate.

Hope this is helpful. Thanks for a great program!

What locale is your system using? Does the problem persist if the locale is xx.UTF8?

[brownbat]

Enabling the UTF locale beta setting is a viable workaround for me.

Looks like that checkbox has caused problems with other apps for some people, so worth keeping an eye on.

Works for me so far though.

Thanks for the quick reply!
