Hi @aomsin2526 , thanks for your issue! That's a good question. I know that some platforms push for that. In short, even though I am not against adding wide character function variants, I currently don't have any plans to implement that myself.

UTF-8 is widely (pun intended) considered to be the gold standard nowadays, but unfortunately Windows is stuck with UTF-16 (UCS-2 to be precise).
My suggestion would be to avoid polluting the API, especially considering there is experimental UTF-8 support in modern versions of Microsoft's operating system.
When working with path sometimes Wide-string is a must.
Do you think adding Wide string support such as wchar_t will worth a effort?
