Hi,
Some people raise issues with file path encoding with non-ASCII characters.
The following works fine for me (macOS, Pharo 7, using new File class):
"works"
(FileLocator temp / 'foo' , 'txt') writeStreamDo: [ :out | out << 'Les Ã©lÃ¨ves FranÃ§ais' ; crlf ].
(FileLocator temp / 'foo' , 'txt') readStreamDo: [ :in | in upToEnd ].
"works"
(FileLocator temp / 'benoÃ®t' , 'txt') writeStreamDo: [ :out | out << 'Les Ã©lÃ¨ves FranÃ§ais' ; crlf ].
(FileLocator temp / 'benoÃ®t' , 'txt') readStreamDo: [ :in | in upToEnd ].
"works"
(FileLocator temp / 'benoÃ®t') ensureCreateDirectory.
(FileLocator temp / 'benoÃ®t' / 'benoÃ®t' , 'txt') writeStreamDo: [ :out | out << 'Les Ã©lÃ¨ves FranÃ§ais' ; crlf ].
(FileLocator temp / 'benoÃ®t' / 'benoÃ®t' , 'txt') readStreamDo: [ :in | in upToEnd ].
Can Linux/Windows users confirm that it works on their platform ?
Thanks for attacking this.  All three work on Windows 10 English locale.
I'd hope it wasn't different with French locale, but wait for a report on that.

I unzipped a fresh download of http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo6.1-win.zip
* into C:\Temp\Pharo6.1
and immediately copied that directory
* into C:\Temp\Pharo6.1.benoÃ®t

Double-clicking on Pharo.exe
* in the former, opens Pharo an expected.
* in the latter, does nothing.
