No unicode in SMB share descriptions

It seems that TC assumes that descriptions in SMB shares are always ANSI-encoded. It always shows those converted to CP_ACP, so all descriptions that are not fit in CP_ACP codepage, are shown as question marks.
The share names itself show unicode names, as expected.
I have checked how it looks in windows explorer - it shows correct chars (supports unicode).
Is there any chance to correct this?

Where does TC show SMB share descriptions?

Share descriptions are shown in the Size column when TC shows the contents of a server \\server. If there is no description for a share, TC just shows the generic <DIR>.

Ah, thanks, I never used these comments. I can confirm that it currently uses ANSI functions.

Any chance to correct this in future version?

I have already changed it to Unicode in the meantime for the upcoming TC 9.50.
