Description
It`s a common task to mmap a file with Unicode name. Currently such operations on Windows require renaming files, and only after that mmaping them, which is not a very nice solution. Better solution would be to use widechar versions of WinAPI and allow widechar filenames.
boost::filesystem::path may help in some cases, as it already provides conversions for different encodings and allows to make less functions overloads.

Sorry, this ticket is a duplicate for #5992
By the way, boost::iostreams already has a mmap with Unicode support
