As part of the ongoing improvement of Unicode support in Windows PuTTY, all the file-request dialog boxes in the tools (for a file name to open, or a file name to save) now support full Unicode file names, so that you can select a file whose name doesn't fit into your system code page.
This includes key files loaded and saved by PuTTYgen, and loaded by Pageant. It also includes file names configured for PuTTY itself, such as a file name to write a session log to, or a file name to load a private key or certificate from.
However, like all the other recent Unicode improvements, the new Unicode capability is not yet supported by the saved configuration: that would require a backwards-incompatible change to the saved data format, and we aren't ready to make that yet. So you can enter exotic Unicode characters in the name of a log file or key file to use now, but if you save your session with one of those file names in, it will not reload correctly.
