   On Windows NT/2K/XP the right thing to do is to use the wide char open
function such as
_CRTIMP FILE * __cdecl _wfopen(const wchar_t *, const wchar_t *);
_CRTIMP int __cdecl _wopen(const wchar_t *, int, ...);

   There may also be techniques for doing this on Windows 9x as the file
system stores Unicode file names but I have never looked into this.
