add support for chinese characters (UTF-8 / unicode?)

Our project wizard throws error 74 (Memory or data structure is corrupted.) when using Chinese characters as a project name.

I guess we first need to test, if the application template itself would work with those characters.

• create a project with the wizard with an english name
• manually rename the folders and the project to chinese characters
• run and investigate raising issues, if any
