I don't have any good ideas to offer here. I think that
Windows
supports UTF-16 via wide characters and alternate APIs.
Magick++ and
GraphicsMagick do not support wide characters or
UTF-16-aware APIs.
Since UTF-8 can be passed via a normal string, UTF-16 could
be handled
by converting from UTF-8 to UTF-16 right before invoking a
UTF-16-aware API.
A workaround would be to copy the file to a new name or use
a WIN32
"legacy" type name (scrambled) to access the file.
If Windows
supports the equivalent of a symbolic link
("shortcut"), then this
could be used to access the problem file.
