i think you misunderstood something.

All file/directory-paths that contains special characters should be
accessed by using their (dos) 8.3 name.

you may view this name by using the (dos) command DIR <file/dir-name> /X
e.g: 'wör', in  8.3 notation is 'WRBFDA~1'  (on my computer).

getting this 8.3 name should be possible  (sorry, i'm not a c++ coder)
over the WinAPI 'GetShortPathNameA' call.
