Those could be ANSI file paths being rendered as multi-byte streams; forcefully casting a `char *` to a wide string produces that effect:

@ShoresOfNowhere, have you checked whether Unicode encoding has been [activated][0] on your PC?

1. Press <kbd>⊞</kbd> (Windows key) + <kbd>R</kbd>
2. Enter `intl.cpl`
3. Click the "Administrative" tab
4. Click "Change system locale..."
5. Look for "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support"
