Cyrillic characters not supported in config file and build.gradle paths

[michael2to3]

Describe the bug
Cyrillic characters in the path to the config file and build.gradle are not supported on Windows, causing issues when trying to build the project or load configuration settings.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a directory with Cyrillic characters in its name.
2. Place the config file and/or build.gradle in the directory created in step 1.
3. Attempt to build the project or load configuration settings on a Windows machine.
4. Observe that the build fails or the configuration settings are not loaded correctly.

Expected behavior
The project should be able to build and load configuration settings correctly on Windows, regardless of the presence of Cyrillic characters in the path to the config file or build.gradle.
