Yes, it works ok, if all the characters used are part of the system 
locale, so for Russian locale, it contains the ascii characters and the 
cyrilic characters.
Try using a path, that contains characters from more than codepage, for 
example using cyrillic characters in a file name and french accented 
chars in the directory. That is when you need real unicode support.
