UTF-8 Arguments sent to Windows shell

--I searched the forum, and didn't find anything related to this, so hopefully this is the case.--

I have some Russian and Japanese music. The thing is that if I select some files, right click, and select Play (may it be in Media Player, Winamp, etc.)... it seems that the Unicode is "converted", and so..weird file names are loaded into the player, which obviously cannot be found, thus not played.

I noticed that if I right click on the whole directory, and let's say, select PlayInWinamp, it works. Or if I click one file at a time, it also works. What can it be? Is it because of TC?

You might say that the players don't have unicode support, yet I tried using one with Unicode support, and still the same result.

does the same happen in windows explorer ?

Nope, this seems to work fine in Windows Explorer

Total Commander isn't a Unicode program, so it uses the DOS names in many functions. Good players should be able to handle these names and get the Unicode names back.
