[Laurent Durantin]

Hi,

7za.exe a -tzip -p"MYpassword£" test.zip test.txt

7-Zip (a) 17.00 beta (x64) : Copyright (c) 1999-2017 Igor Pavlov : 2017-04-29

Scanning the drive:
1 file, 9 bytes (1 KiB)

Creating archive: test.zip

Add new data to archive: 1 file, 9 bytes (1 KiB)

System ERROR:
The parameter is incorrect.

If the £ character is remove, all is ok

It's missing of feature.
There are charset encoding problems in zip, described here:
