I've used BRU for a couple decades, and I remember asking about this a few years ago.
UNICODE was once a small problem that just became a larger problem, as I seem to have a bunch of file names with UNICODE embedded. My old fix was to copy affected text into Notepad, save the file, load the file, and copy the contents back to the file name. That old fix does not seem to work under Windows 10. I think 10 allows UNICODE in file names. Ugh.
Please tell me BRU has a way to strip UNICODE from file names, and that I don't have to be a script programmer to do it . . . .
Thanks for any help you have to give!
