Hi,
I’d like to report an issue concerning initdb on Microsoft Windows if running initdb.exe from a directory that contains special chars like German umlauts. The error message is: FATAL: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xf6 0x63 0x6b
Version used: 17.2 official Windows binaries

Best regards
Bernhard Stöcker

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
