             Summary: Ensure that unicode file paths work correctly
                 Key: MINIFICPP-2215
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-2215
             Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Marton Szasz


In most parts of the code, we're assuming that strings are UTF-8 encoded. However, std::filesystem::path doesn't do encoding conversion, and it expects the input string's encoding to match the filesystem encoding. This is probably not a problem on Linux, but it may be a problem on Windows.

We should check whether this is a problem in any filesystem operations, and construct `std::filesystem::path` objects from strings of char8_t to opt in to automatic conversion from UTF-8 to the filesystem encoding.
