The Python ssl module is a wrapper to the OpenSSL library. For this issue, we are talking about the function SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations():
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/ssl/SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations.html

OpenSSL expects a byte string for CAfile and CApath. On Windows, it means a string encoded to the ANSI code page.

OpenSSL doesn't seem to support paths not encodable to the ANSI code page on Windows. I suggest you to report the issue to the OpenSSL bug tracker:
https://www.openssl.org/community/#bugs

A workaround is to avoid characters not encodable to the ANSI code page, maybe by using symbolic links?
