@VitorLuizC can you paste in some of the problem characters? Also do you have any terminal-specific settings set in your settings.json?

[VitorLuizC]

My folder's name is "Paçoca", so the "ç" is the only special character, and no I didn't have any terminal-specific settings in my settings.json.

I've tried to open integrated terminal in another folder without special characters("Pacoca") and it worked.

Seems fine on stable and insiders on Linux:

Perhaps it's only happening on Windows?

[VitorLuizC]

I don't know if it matters but that folder is inside my OneDrive folder.

After a new test i've checked that doesn't matter.

Chinese folder or Japanese folder so does on Windows 10！！

Must be a windows thing, I'll try have a look at this for v1.3

Can confirm it effects on a new installation of v1.2.1 and on windows.
Folders causing this for me is when opened as "root" and containing swedish letters (åäö). Also if folders above "root" contains special characters.

I had a look at this and it appears to be an upstream issue, moving to backlog.
