First, I don't think this is the right place for these questions.  You
should be asking this on the GDB mailing list, [email protected].

More to the point, you are not talking about commands, you are talking
about _file names_ encoded in UTF-8.  Right?  What you want is for GDB
to convert the file names from UTF-8 to either ANSI or (better)
UTF-16, and then use the result in the corresponding file I/O API.

There's no such feature in GDB, AFAIK.  GDB assumes that filenames it
gets in the commands are in the same encoding as the local file names,
and for Windows this means the current ANSI codepage.

(IMNSHO, it is quite silly of VSCode to use UTF-8 on Windows, since
kits developers must know that UTF-8 is not supported well by
Windows.  But that's me.)
