True. Windows File Explorer uses the legacy "use current system codepage" idea
inherited from IE.

>    - **Firefox** → Result: does not open

Wrong. Firefox opens it fine.

Wrong. Your PDF works fine in Adobe Acrobat (I created the path locally, to see
if it works).

And - most important: Windows' own current API (UrlCreateFromPath, System.Uri)
use it.

Respective RFCs (RFC 3986, RFC 8089) and other standards (like WHATWG URL
Standard) recommend UTF-8 encoding; all of them list "current codepage" as
insecure and to-be-avoided.

Your test only proves that there are some applications that do not follow the
correct current recommendations of URL encodings.
