Diskpart assign command using script file not detecting UTF-8 paths

Question

Hi Community,

I am using diskpart command with script file (/s flag) and assigning a VHD file to a temporary directory which contains non-ACII characters, problem here is diskpart reports this directory as invalid however when I assign folder with DiskManagement GUI this works perfectly fine.

Diskpart script contains below commands:

create vdisk file=C:\tp93847435_f7ad_4f7e_b589_9a6e0c8fee0d.vhd maximum=5

select vdisk file=C:\tp93847435_f7ad_4f7e_b589_9a6e0c8fee0d.vhd

attach vdisk

rescan

convert mbr

create partition primary

format fs=ntfs label="install" quick 

assign mount="C:\Users\someuser\AppData\Local\Temp\UP_€_d99S\tp14de94c0_147d_4fe9_96e3_405f604bb26d" 

Everything except last line works fine. Also, I've verified that of assign used with path containing only ASCII characters then script passes.

Would like to know if this is expected?? If not, how we can solve this issue or any command line alternative available?

NOTE: I am saving script file in UTF-8 format
