I'm not sure if this affects all NT based windows or not, or if you've even bothered putting it in at all, but under Vista at least Unicode filename support does not work
I second this! It's ironic that Notepad++ has such great support for Unicode within documents but none for filenames (though this isn't unusual; Acrobat had the same problem until version 8).
i'm third. :)
Please fix it, I never can open unicode filenames containing chinese, korean or japanese characters for example...

If you write the code, chances are bigger that it will get into Notepad++ faster.
Don
same goes to my Windows XP here. Whenever the filename contains Unicode characters (specifically CJK) N++ prompt me something like the file "????.txt" does not exist and ask me if I want to create a new file.
Most Win32 text editors (besides the regular notepad) don't support unicode filenames.
BabelPad is one that does. Of course, it has crazy awesome unicode support.
It would be such a relief if notepad++ could support unicode command line arguments.
For example, if I wanted to open "c:\documents and settings\user\destkop\√\file√123.txt" in notepad++, I couldn't, but can in BabelPad.
BabelPad is great for what it does, but it is slower on large files and doesn't have all the bells and whistles NotePad++ has.
I can confirm that this problem exists on Windows XP, 2000, and Vista. Any filename or path with unicode characters fails to open in Notepad++ (but opens just fine in Windows notepad).
