It uses UTF16 on windows, not a codepage aware string.

So if you use widestring for all your filename strings, there will be no problem. 
No conversions will happen.

If you so desire, you can start with a single-page, codepage aware string, but the RTL will convert it 
to UTF16 on windows anyway. if your codepage aware string contains "invalid" bytes, then 
the conversion may fail.
