Sharepoint Copy File Failure with file containing Chinese Character

Hello,

I have a flow that copies files from one sharepoint directory to another. All files are copied successfully except a file containing chinese characters. The flow reports that the file is not found. The error message is "-2130575338". Are chinese characters in a file name supported in the copy action?

Thank you,

-Peter

Re: Sharepoint Copy File Failure with file containing Chinese Character

I was able to find a workaround.
Get the file contents and create a new file in the other directory with the name of the original file, including the chinese character.

Notice in the "Create Test" it gets the file contents and creates the file. The has in prepended with a character so as not to get a duplicate file error. Copy file fails with the "File does not exist" error and the same error code as above.
