The reason is that ScummVM is not UTF-8-compatible. Adding that will be a huge work. Thus it is not recommended to use game paths with non-ASCII characters in them.

It is a bug to not support UTF-8, or a addon feature. This ticket should stay open until it is resolved, even if it does not happen soon.

Thank you for your suggestion, but no. UTF-8 filesystems are not portable enough for ScummVM.

But the GUI could not correct this?
