Comment:

 ͏    It appears "-report" only supports custom options via "FFREPORT"
 environment variable:
 ͏    https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Generic-options
 ͏    (yes, I don't use it...)

 ͏    Specifically tried below:
 (Windows CMD)
 ͏    `SET "FFREPORT=file=中.txt" & ffmpeg -i "中.mp4"`
 ͏    `SET "FFREPORT=file=é.txt" & ffmpeg -i "中.mp4"`
 ͏    `SET "FFREPORT=file=А.txt" & ffmpeg -i "中.mp4"`
 ͏    .
 ͏    “Failed to open report "中.txt": Invalid argument”
 ͏    Garbled filename for else.
 ͏    Note "А" is Cyrillic.
 ͏    "é" is "e" + "́". (not "é")
