What files? Do you mean private key files? If so, in what form?
Encrypted PEM, PKCS#8, PKCS#12? All could have different character set
behaviour. I'm assuming the passphrase has non-ASCII characters in it?

What is the local character set (chcp) when the file is created, and
when it is used? You're doing this on the same machine?

Can you show an example?
