    Issue description

    The datadir field on the debug window displays incorrectly if the profile folder name is accented.

    How to reproduce

    1. Create a profile with accented profile folder name (àèìòùáéíóú)
    2. Run bitcoin core with the default datadir
    3. Go to the debug window and look at the datadir field

    Expected behaviour

    The datadir folder path should display correctly.

    Actual behaviour

    Accented characters display as a unknown character question mark.

    Screenshots

    Debug Window

    Confirmed affected versions

    The bug has been tested on the following implementations:

    • v0.13.1 from source cross-compiled for Windows x64 on a Ubuntu 14.04 enviroment
    • 0.13.0 official Windows x64 binary

    Additional debug info

    Copying and pasting the text into a program that is known to support accented characters (Such as Notepad++) still displays unknown character symbols.

    Should be a one-line patch. Can you try #9094?

    I can't reproduce on OS X with the current master...

    @paveljanik I think this only happens on Windows.

    Tested with https://bitcoin.jonasschnelli.ch/nightlybuilds/2016-10-18/
