Minetest: [windows] game crash with unicode char in worldname

My 10yo daughter found this bug, so I'm reporting it on her behalf 8-)

How to reproduce:
Setup: Minetest 0.4.15, running on Windows 7/64-bit, german.

Start game, singleplayer, "new", worldname Gummib盲rchen ( sigh ).

Create.

So far so good. "Play". click. Crash:

So it looks like we've got a filename-character encoding issue here:

anything else I could provide ?

I like how you had to pretend that your daughter found it just because you named your world Gummib盲rchen (there was no need to be ashamed)

As a solution, I guess encoding the world name with some encoding like in URLs should keep backwards compatibility and allow unicode characters in world names.
