It was only yesterday that I began to wonder if there might be a problem in non-English locales.  Up to now, nobody's ever reported a problem (though, as we all know in programming, that doesn't mean there isn't one!)

Wine (and Windows NT OSes) use unicode for the command-line.  Wine would
convert the UTF-8 unix command-line to a UTF-16 Windows command-line.

It is then up to the Windows locale conversion to convert that UTF-16
string to the locale's character set.
