Re: UTF-8 characters in filenames with Lilypond 2.23

[Curt McDowell]

I get that same error if running under Docker, if LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8, but where en_US.UTF-8 does not exist in the output of "locale -a".

./out/bin/lilypond scheme-sandbox                         (Lilypond 2.23.0, Guile 2.2.7, Ubuntu 20.04)
(open-input-file "tést.ly")
In procedure open-file: No such file or directory: "t??st.ly"

    Changing LANG makes Guile happy

export LANG=C.UTF-8
./out/bin/lilypond scheme-sandbox
(open-input-file "tést.ly")
$1 = #<input: tést.ly 7>

but strangely it still does not make Lilypond happy

./out/bin/lilypond tést.ly
warning: cannot find file: `t??st.ly'

I don't know why.

Lilypond 2.20.0 works in the same environment and seems insensitive to LANG.
