runprogram contains Chinese character in executable path

Hello,

I tried to execute an external program by using runprogram.

The command failed if program path contains Chinese character.

I guess this issue is related to char encoding.

Does not exist a path in default language setting you can use? I think independently from an local setting, all paths are internally addressed by an american english substitute or an 8 character long simplified path.

You could put a batch file somewhere with an ASCII path, and then in the batch file use chcp to change the code page before executing the program with Chinese characters in the path.
