This implies a symmetric issue,. but I can not see how there can be a problem with non-ASCII module names on Windows as the file system allows all Unicode characters so can represent any module name. OS X is also based on Unicode file names. While it is possible to mount file systems on Windows or OS X that do not support Unicode file names these are a very unusual situation that will cause problems in other ways. Common Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora now default to UTF-8 locales. The situations in which users may encounter installations that do not support Unicode file names have reduced greatly.
