Distuitls generates "export symbols" for extension modules to help ensure that they have have the correct linkage on Windows. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/0d30ae1a03102de07758650af9243fd31211325a/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py#L692 It generates the correct symbol in most causes, but if the filename contains unicode characters then it creates the wrong symbol, causing linkage errors. The behaviour should be updated to reflect PEP-489: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0489/#export-hook-name
