Description:
------------
We have a filename starting with a non-ASCII filename character like "Æ", "Ø" or "Å". Then we try to get the filename without extension using PATHINFO_FILENAME.

PHP will trim the first character from the resulting string.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$fileName = 'ÅfileÅnameÅ.docx';

// outputs "fileÅnameÅ" - missing starting character
echo pathinfo($fileName, PATHINFO_FILENAME) . "\n";

Expected result:
----------------
ÅfileÅnameÅ

Actual result:
--------------
fileÅnameÅ

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is documented - see https://www.php.net/pathinfo

> Caution
> 
> pathinfo() is locale aware, so for it to parse a path containing multibyte characters correctly, the matching locale must be set using the setlocale() function.
