Looks like there is the same issue as MNG-7165 but it's at Windows now.

```java
>mvn --version

Research direction

Start by reproducing `mvn --version` on Windows when the user path contains Unicode characters, then compare the behavior with MNG-7165 and JDK-8017274. Check the related MNG-7254 workaround and verify that Maven starts and loads jansi successfully from such a path.
