Description laybor 2011-09-09 09:44:40 UTC 
L"text" in gcc is output UTF8,
L"text" in VisualC is output UTF16,
\src\file\SDL_rwops.c
in "win32_file_open" use unicode,but it's only use UTF8(MultiByteToWideChar)
Comment 1 laybor 2011-09-09 09:49:23 UTC 
so SDL_LoadBMP not support chinese path.
Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2011-10-12 23:05:15 UTC 
SDL only deals with UTF-8 strings, so this won't work...

    SDL_LoadBMP(L"file.bmp");

...but something like this will...

   char *utf8 = SDL_iconv_string("UTF-8", "UTF-16", L"file.bmp", wcslen(L"file.bmp") + sizeof (WCHAR))
   SDL_LoadBMP(utf8);
   SDL_free(utf8);

This isn't an SDL bug. It's well-documented that SDL wants UTF-8 strings.
