RetroArch version: RetroArch: Frontend for libretro -- v1.10.3 -- 9b282aa742 -- Compiler: GCC (11.2.0) 64-bit Built: Apr 26 2022

PCSX2 version: ad76609

Description of the issue: I usually use this character "⎇" in folder names to indicate alternative versions of the games. This core seems to not function with this character (and possibly other). When I remove this character or replace it with something else, then games from this folder will play.

How to reproduce the issue: Name a folder which includes the character "⎇" and try to run the core with files from that folder.

Last known version to work: It is the first time I tried this with this core. As a sidenote, all other cores (a lot) I tried works with this character.

Hello, I have the same issue with the PCSX2 core when trying to access disc images that are in a subdir of one named "ÉMULATION". Renaming it to "EMULATION" works. I have not encountered the same issue with any other core (with files in the same path).

I would assume that it has issues with any Unicode character besides the base ASCII table.

Using Kubuntu 22.04 with RetroArch installed as a flatpak.

Thank you for the report and confirming the issue. So that means this is definitely not an issue on my side only, especially if you use the Flatpak version. As a sidenote, RetroArch itself will show a placeholder when using such a character in playlist names. Seems to be a general Unicode issue as you pointed out.
