Cant load file through github api to the repository (curl.php) with non ascii characters in name (example : 米津玄師 , — , and other non english letter).

use curl like this :

$data_git = array( "message"=>"Required message", "content"=> base64_encode( "content" ));

$ch_git = curl_init('https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/contents/PATH/'.$name);
curl_setopt($ch_git, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
curl_setopt($ch_git, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string_git);
curl_setopt($ch_git, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch_git, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
	"Accept: application/vnd.github+json" , 
	"Authorization: Bearer ".$github_key ,
	"X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" ,
	'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/76.0.3809.132 YaBrowser/19.9.3.314 Yowser/2.5 Safari/537.36',
));

$result_git = curl_exec($ch_git);

What could be the problem ? Maybe some headers is needed?

I'm having the same problem too with using curl.exe directly, not just filename, but it will failed with error curl: (26) Failed to open/read local data from file/application if non-ASCII character present in the path/folder name.
Hope to have some solution

Hello and good day @frederik123 @Ben-Mack

You can try encoding the file path using the cmd /c echo command with the chcp command to set the code page to UTF-8:

cmd /c echo "file path with non-ASCII characters" | curl -K -

chcp 65001

This should properly encode the file path and allow it to be processed correctly by curl.exe

Well , i make some research and find solution.

Need to encode file name with "rawurlencode" (https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rawurlencode.php) .
Then file upload without problems.
