0.97.1-win10: description does not work for UTF files/directories

Hello, when I write a description for a directory or file, the special characters, such as Japanese characters, are only converted to question marks. This way, all these comments are not shown when reopening. The file descript.ion is still saved in UTF-8.
Browser - Metadata - Encoding - Comment is also set to UTF-8.

This setting is for embedded comment.
By default, if descript.ion doesn't exist, ansi is used. You can force
UTF8 by editing
from xnview.ini

Thank you. That works. But existing description.ion files have to be removed or changed to UTF8-BOM. Else it wont work.
