Description

I usually use Japanese file names (2-byte characters) with my image files.
When I try to create a pyramid for a big geotiff image, it fails both from "Property" menu and "Raster" menu.

When I rename the file from 2-byte to 1-byte characters, it fails from "Property" menu but it succeeds from "Raster" menu.

It happens both v2.14.19 and v2.18.13.

I attach a small geotiff files with 1-byte file name and 2-byte file name.

FYI, no issues under Linux (and possibly also macOS). The size of the raster doesn't really matter. The right place where to fix this is in Processing as anyway the "old" gdaltools are going to disappear in qgis3.
