The issue is not to store UTF8 file-names, but to access them with guile

Here another grrrrrrrrrrrrr:

/home/hermann/lilypondH/Test/forum/chin
contains the above mentioned filename_名字.scm, nothing else.

In a .ly-file I have:

#(define dir (opendir "/home/hermann/lilypondH/Test/forum/chin"))
#(do ((entry (readdir dir) (readdir dir)))
    ((eof-object? entry))
  (if (eq? (stat:type (stat entry)) 'regular)
      (begin
        (format #t "\nguile found this file: ~a\n\n" entry)
        (system (format #f "guile ~a" entry))))
  (newline))
#(closedir dir)

Compiling it with LilyPond 2.19.52-guile2 results in

lilypond-git atest-47.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.19.52
Processing `atest-47.ly'

guile found this file: filename_名字.scm
