This is no magic. Console settings must match locale set in the environment.
Please test again with "chcp" to get current console codepage and setting LANG to match it.
I could not see which version of Windows you're using, sorry. It is possible
that console is set to a different codepage than usual.

>> Alternatively, you could try
>> chcp 65001

> That does not help:

> D:\cli> chcp 65001
> Active code page: 65001

> D:\cli> test "текст плюс.txt"
> param 0 = test
> param 1 = "текст плюс.txt"
