it should be completely portable, except that it requires that directories are possible and that the filesystem isn't weird (I don't really care about compatibility with grandpa's EPROMs that can hold 9-bit flat files). AFAIK on posix it is usual that file names are simply zero terminated byte sequences, which means that UTF-8 won't be _completely_ portable, and not only on grandpa's EPROMs. In practice, paths are in UTF-8 on all modern POSIX systems.
Could you please provide a citation for that?
I have experience with people continuing to use Shift-JIS for file names in recent-ish times.
That's just my experience. I haven't seen a non-UTF-8 POSIX system in decades.
