Can I write:

When "שלום.txt" is UTF-8 string and Unicode file name will be created? If so, way to go.
In v3, yes.
There are some caveats, but it should work, and there are some fairly similar test cases passing all compilers.
This is not what I'd understood from our previous discussion. I was under the impression filesystem v3 running on Windows would take this narrow path string and convert it to UTF-16 using the *local code page*. This means the example above would only work if the computer in question were set to Hebrew. Even that might not work - I'm not sure if the Hebrew code page contains the necessary characters to represent 'txt'. Did I misunderstand?
