This leads to absolutely horrendous rendering of Chinese filenames in Windows if the system locale isn’t Chinese. The characters seem to be rendered in some variant of MS Gothic and it’s very obviously a mix of Chinese and Japanese glyphs (of somewhat different sizes and/or stroke widths IIRC). I think the Chinese locale avoids the issue by using Microsoft YaHei UI.
