I can't actually check what the actual encoding of a filename stored in hdd is. It should be UTF-8, but it is not. It's probably whatever encoding i had on Windows. Perhaps making sure "root" and "fullpath" are bytes. Then the returned filenames should be bytes as well?

Is this achievable by doing?
print( root.decode('utf-8'), fullpath.decode('utf-8') )
