It's been _possible_ using the NT Unicode APIs since Windows 2000: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/930f87yf.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/930f87yf.aspx But other common first-party windows development tools can still have the problem: https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/issues/53 https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/issues/53

I'm half surprised that wasn't in NT4 (prior to 2000 even)... been a major thing that pissed me off in .Net a couple years ago... "why in freaking 2014 is this still a problem?!?!" Was really happy to see it was finally fixed in .Net and the Anniversary update, and long, long overdue.
