We are talking about official files in the parts library here. They're not
going to have Unicode or special characters. If this isn't already explicitly
in the spec for library filenames, we can certainly add it.
As a side note, UTF-8 and UTF-16 are both actually Unicode. When most people
say Unicode, they really mean UTF-16. (As far as I can tell, all references to
"Unicode" from Microsoft really refer to UTF-16.) However, UTF-8 is still
Unicode; it's just indistinguishable from ASCII for all letters used by the
English language.
