 Then someone just needs rig current std.file to call toUTF16/toUTFz...

std.file works good with non-ASCII strings. This is std.stdio issue.

 ...and forward the result to the right _wfopen...

And std.file uses plain WinAPI, not its buggy wrapper from Digital Mars C
runtime.

 ...This is all is just embarracing.

Yes, but std.stdio is even worse than you think (e.g. it can be 100x slower
than direct C function calls as bearophile noted about rawWrite).

Dmitry, we should not assume the name string is in UTF8, it may be also some
another 8-bit code page in being supported in Windows, like 125x and so on.
Such encoding should be done by application itself.
What I think is to have File/open/popen( wstring, string mode ) which should 
care about UTF16 names. Surprisingly I found some links in DMC includes to
_wfopen receiving wchar_t which should exacly help here.

Nope, char is UTF-8 codeunit period. See TDPL, language spec etc. 
Legacy one-byte encodings should be transfered in bytes/ubytes whatever. BTW
NTFS is UTF-16 (or subset of it).

 care about UTF16 names. Surprisingly I found some links in DMC includes to
 _wfopen receiving wchar_t which should exacly help here.

Then someone just needs rig current std.file to call toUTF16/toUTFz (see
std.uni) and forward the result to the right _wfopen on win32. UTF-16 been the
defacto standard in Windows for a looong time. This is all is just embarracing.

UTF8 supports the full unicode set, not just ASCII.

I assumed it just transcodes UTF-8 into UTF-16 before trying to contact the OS
on win32. Apparently that's not the case.
