Very few systems have mixed file name encodings. A consistent UTF-8 named system will work perfectly in Unicode file name mode. It is still however considered experimental in R14B01. Unicode file name translation is turned on with the <c>+fnu</c> switch to the <c>erl</c> program. If the VM is started in Unicode file name translation mode, <c>file:native_name_encoding/0</c> will return the atom <c>utf8</c>.</p> -<p>In Unicode file name mode, file names given to the BIF <c>open_port/2</c> with the option <c>{spawn_executable,...}</c> are also interpreted as Unicode.
