Hi Ming,

someone with more knowledge about Unicode (and Windows) could perhaps
explain why that happens, but since you also asked for a workaround:

Instead of using \bookOutSuffix, you could try with \bookOutputName, like this:

\book {
  \bookOutputName "+中国曲子+"

Which works fine over here (version 2.18, Mac OSX 10.8.4).

However, especially encoding issues are likely to depend on the operating system.

And Ming, please note that it is compulsory on bug-lilypond and strongly advised also on lilypond-user that you use Minimal examples. It often makes understanding the problem and testing solutions much easier. So in the current case, the file could have been as short as

\version "2.19.3"
\bookOutputSuffix "SA+TB"
{ c' }

, which by the way shows the same behavior on linux.

Best regards,
Simon
