I don't want to download or install anything. I thought I would finally convince you all when I showed that my own script is fully able to receive the Unicode characters and quotes from the cmd.exe which doesn't even use the /U flag, so clearly pg_dump is not reading this correctly? I can't see any other explanation at this point. It frankly feels like you don't *want* to support Windows. "Cross-platform" seems to mean "several Linux distributions" these days...
I do believe there is something here worth exploring. You will just need to be patient and wait for someone capable to agree. If it's really important to you paid support services are an option.
The fact that there are few reports being made of this nature, coupled with the upfront hostility of the reports, makes it easy to put the concern aside while less difficult problems exist - and, to repeat, while being at the very end of a development cycle for a new release.
