 Hi,

 I am very happy from progress in Unicode support on Windows.

 There is issue describing pending functionality regarding files 
(http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1685). But I found another 
important area - opening processes.

 This code shows not working (if that file exists, it is not opened by 
notepad) functions:
 ---------------------------------------
 # encoding: UTF-8

 fname = "của_zufällige_žluťoučký_გამეორებ_разлога_和新加坡以及东.txt"

 system("notepad.exe #{fname}")
 IO.popen("notepad.exe #{fname}")
 Open3.popen3("notepad.exe #{fname}")
 ---------------------------------------

 I tried to open notepad from command line with same parameters and it 
works.

 Best regards
 Jarek

 PS: I am sorry if I choose wrong fix version...
