MediaFile Cannot Handle Paths Containing Unicode Characters #17

When MediaFile is constructed with a path containing Unicode characters (e.g. Z:\Videos\Shows\Queen of the South (2016)\01x06 - El Engaño como la Regla.mkv) it fails to extract media information. The media information is loaded without an issue when the file is opened with the MediaInfo application, however.

Upon further investigation, I've found this only affects some characters.
For example, the following path works without an issue: Z:\Videos\Shows\The Big Bang Theory (2007)\02x07 - The Panty Piñata Polarization.m4v

Both paths seem to contain the same character but they are slightly different:
01x06 - El Engaño como la Regla.mkv - - n\u0303
02x07 - The Panty Piñata Polarization.m4v - ñ - \u00f1
