[gui] GUI Application fails to launch if ran from a Unicode path

Issue details
If you run the application when the path contains a Unicode character (such as the emoji), the following error messages will be produced: "Java Virtual Machine Launcher - Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again" and "Java Virtual Machine Launcher - A Java Exception has occurred".
If this can't be fully patched, I would at least appreciate if there was a more explicit error message explaining to move the folder containing the app into a directory that doesn't contain a Unicode path.
