Not sure if this is the right place to report a bug, but here it comes... How to reproduce:
1. Start Command Prompt. 2. Create an empty test directory anywhere and cd into it. 3. Create a subdirectory with a Unicode character in it, e.g. mkdir α 4. Create a file named Session.vim in the Unicode directory. You can use vim/gvim for this. The contents don't really matter, although I used echo 'Session.vim sourced!' just to provide some feedback if the file is successfully sourced. 5. Ensuring your pwd is *outside* the Unicode directory, try to pass the Session.vim file as the argument to gvim -S. In other words, run either of the following two commands (assuming the vim installation directory, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim74, is in your %PATH%): vim -S α\Session.vim gvim -S α\Session.vim The result (at least for me, using [g]vim 7.4.0 on Windows 8.1) is this error message: Error detected while processing command line: E484: Can't open file a\Session.vim The "α" (U+03B1) became an "a" (U+0061). I also tried a fraction slash (U+2044) and it became a normal forward slash (U+002F). Thus, it looks like there's some kind of "compatibility normalization" thing going on, or maybe some kind of munging due to code pages. In any case, the command should not be failing. It is also noteworthy that just editing the file via the command-line works fine. IOW, the following works: vim α\Session.vim gvim α\Session.vim Thus, I really don't think this should be failing. I also tried using the latest MacVim and console vim on Mac OS X 10.9, and I also tried Cygwin console vim on the same Windows 8.1 system, and none of those failed. Thanks!
