Can we name files in freebsd with unicode characters?
Also are unicode characters supported in file i/o system calls like open, d=
llopen, fopen? i.e. can we open a file with unicode pathname?
for e.g in windows CreatefileW is used for opening files with unicode pathn=
ames (wide characters).

If so how to activate it. Is there any kind of environment variable that we=
 need to set for it?

Regards,
Grishma
