Description
Performing a perforce sync on files with unicode characters in their names/paths results in incorrect output during sync.
This issue may also affect other file operations.
Tested on both CMD, and PowerShell/Windows Terminal
Sync completes successfully & properly, but output leads users to believe something failed or was incorrect.

No source files or tests are named. Reproduce a sync involving Unicode filenames in CMD and PowerShell/Windows Terminal, then trace the console-output path for file operations. Done means sync output displays Unicode paths correctly without implying a failure, while the sync itself continues to complete successfully.
