Russian characters in path - causing loop?

I'm trying to cycle through a bunch of input shapefiles using a reader path as follows:

C:\\my_project\\my_data\\**\\my_shape.shp

However, some of the folders represented by ** contain characters from the Russian alphabet and this seems to be causing the reader to loop round and round without error or warning.

Is there a way of testing a path for unrecognised characters and skipping it?

    Hi @btl

    is your locale set to Russian (Russia)? Currently, FME can only deal with characters supported by system default encoding in file paths.
