You should not use Cyrillic symbols in paths. Never and anywhere. Really.

what is that response? lmao? that's the windows path when you set your name, and guess what, some people might write their name in Cyrillic...

Yes, I keep all the programs in my folder and call them Cyrillic names, since it's my native language. But now I use English names for folders

My answer should be taken as advice. Meaning Cyrillic characters in fact I meant any characters in general other than Latin and special characters (allowed to use in file names in a your file system).
This problem is common, so the best solution in my opinion is to stop using such characters in paths.
