Summary: cannot link directories/files path with non-ascii char

Initial Comment:
as i described above, when i tried to make jounction / hard link to path containing non-ascii characters.
If it's possible, i wish it can handle path coded by UTF-8 since I'm an Asian user always facing these chinese/japanese character.

Note: it's even impossible to link a folder / file with my locale non-ascii chars.

despite this not that big problem, this software is really powerful, it terminate my long-time worrying about categorizing files since i can have many hard links and junctions for multi-attribute files!!

and a little desire for feature,
isn't it cool if a junction can joint with multi folders?
i know i can create a folder with many junctions under it, but it makes me feel bad sometimes to open each folder to check it out.

but even without these, i still praise for having such a convenient software to use.

Unicode support is a feature I'm working on, but it will take some more
months due to a lack of spare time.

Regarding your feature request: Junctions are a feature of the NTFS file
system, we're simply enabling it, but we cannot change the way it works.
What you're requesting (sounds like something like "unionsfs" / "aufs"
under Linux) is not possible, unfortunately.
