Description:
------------
unlink, rename function cannot be executed if the filename is in unicode character, but opendir, readdir work fine.

The following output is from the browser which the encoding is already set to UTF-8, it still some of the character cannot be read.

The OS is English, but the regional settings has been set to Chinese (Taiwan), so that the PHP can only read characters those are in English Character or BIG5.

Directory listing works fine, but it can't show the character~~
Array
(
    [0] => h:\ndsrom\temp\unzipped/EZ [WWW.EMU-ZONE.ORG] - [?&#65533;&#65533;,&#65533;&#65533;?&#65533;&#65533;,ROM,??,&#65533;&#65533;?,?&#65533;bEZ].url.url
    [1] => h:\ndsrom\temp\unzipped/&#65533;&#997;&#65533;?&#65533;&#65533;.txt
    [2] => h:\ndsrom\temp\unzipped/&#65533;&#65533;?&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;?DS &#65533;&#65533;??&#65533;P&#65533;&#65533;b&#65533;P&#65533;&#65533;?&#65533;&#65533;.nds
)

The file contains in that folder which browsed by Explorer: (An image, those filename are some Simplified Chinese name in UTF8 encoding)

Expected result:
----------------
The file can be renamed and unlink successfully without any warnings.

Since the browser also cannot submit the special character, here is the snapshot of the error message.
