Can VS Code be debugged if the path contains certain symbols? (Python)

As the title says ... Is it a bug?

--The confirmed version is as follows.

• VS Code 1.51.0
• Python 3.8.5

I don't use any debuggable language other than Python, so I don't know the other languages ...

Symbols are removed from the path at the start of debugging

The symbol (○) has disappeared from the path passed to python.exe. Until now, I could use Japanese as usual, so the circle symbol seems to be useless. I'm in trouble ...

Isn't there a way to do it without renaming the folder?

Let's verify which character disappears

Let's check where the Shift JIS symbol is erased. The content of the Python code is only print ("success ").

Is it related to Unicode kettle? maybe? I don't know anything about that, so the results are different! I can only say ...
