I try to use fopen function in mingw.
When fileName is ANSI string it works.
But when fileName contains non-ansi symbols (cyrillic etc) I have a problem - can't open file
For C I've found the solution - OemToCharA function but it doesn't work for me

fileName = memScoped {
            val bytes = allocArray<CHARVar>(aFileName.length * 2)
            OemToCharA(aFileName, bytes)
            bytes.toKString()
        }

fileName contains wrong chars

Windows uses UTF-16 encoding internally, so standard fopen won’t work. You should use _wfopen with MultiByteToWideChar() to convert between UTF-8 and UTF-16.
