Description

### Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 18

### What happened

When my netbeans is placed in a folder containing Chinese, I will report an error when I open netbeans, as follows
![1691057759622](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/assets/22016800/5cdf8ef2-2ca8-4a53-99e1-3659c59cd682)
I developed a program of my own using the netbeans platform, and the same error will be reported when the generated startup file is opened.
This seriously affects the normal use of the software, I hope this problem can be solved in the new version。

### How to reproduce

Put netbeans in a Chinese folder, and then start netbeans to cause this problem.

### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

Apache NetBeans 18

### Operating System

window10

### JDK

jdk 1.8

### Apache NetBeans packaging

Apache NetBeans binary zip

### Anything else

_No response_

### Are you willing to submit a pull request?

Research direction

Reproduce the failure by placing the NetBeans binary zip in a folder containing Chinese characters and opening NetBeans on Windows 10 with JDK 8. Start by examining the generated startup file mentioned in the report; done means NetBeans and applications built on the NetBeans Platform start successfully from paths containing non-ASCII characters.
