POSIX says: <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_265> 3.265 Portable Filename Character Set The set of characters from which portable filenames are constructed.

See also 3.254 Pathname. Your path is thus non-portable, and this is just one of its consequences.

I would close this as WONTFIX. Sorry. If the fix was easy, I might fix it, but I suspect there are so many break points that it's impossible to fix. Just don't do that. :) Have a lovely new year!
