@1passuserms: I'll admit that I'd never thought I'd see "Chinese" written in Chinese in association with 1Password. I'm sorry that you've encountered this issue!
Unfortunately 1Password for Windows version 4 simply does not (and cannot) support Unicode filenames since it was developed to support legacy versions of Windows as well. In fact, it won't even let you create a vault with non-conforming characters anywhere in the path because then it wouldn't be able to load it.
However, the good news is that our new app does not have this limitation:
1Password for Windows 10 beta
It isn't done yet, but it will bring that an a lot of other improvements. Cheers! :)

It's as-if the screenshots were created intentionally for bug submission purpose :sarcastic:
Good to know. I'll just fat-finger my passwords on the Windows 10 machine for now.
Thanks @brenty0 -
