 Replying to [ticket:2524 marisn]:
 > Steps to reproduce:
 >  * mkdir "šaursliežu dzelzceļš"
 >  * copy "myshapefile.*" "šaursliežu dzelzceļš/"
 >  * start GRASS, open vector data import dialog
 >  * select "C:\balhblah\šaursliežu dzelzceļš\myshapefile.shp" as a data
 source
 > Observe how nothing happens. No error messages, no hangs, just nothing.
 No layers are listed and thus is not possible to continue with data
 import.
