Hi, guys

I found that so far no homebrew I tried can read paths or files with non-English (in my case Japanese) on my SD card:

AwooInstaller, RetroArch, ftpd, nxshell .... etc, all from different authors,

So I guess it's a system-wide restriction or limitation and wonder what's the reason ?

It's the fat32 format ? or libnx ? or Switch HOS itself ?

I put a lot files and directories with Japanese characters on my SD card, and in the end cannot load/find them in all homebrew apps.

Want to know if there might be a workaround/solution or I just have to rename all stuff to make things work?

Thanks
