[gdal-dev] Ogr2ogr does not support file name with non-ASCII character

[Dmitriy Baryshnikov]

Hi,

You shouldn't know that file name is UTF. It maybe not in UTF (e.g. in 
you system encoding - in Linux usually UTF-8,  in Windows - CP1252, 
CP1251 etc.).
But you command line shell (bash, cmd, etc.) should encode the input to 
the UTF8, or you have to set the environment variable 
GDAL_FILENAME_IS_UTF8 to NO.

Best regards,
     Dmitry
